Krzemien called up as recovering Wojcik EWC rider Krummenacher’s deputy

Kamil Krzemień is a last-minute replacement for the recovering Randy Krummenacher, the Polish rider returning to Wójcik Racing Team for the FIM Endurance World Championship opener at Le Mans next week. The rider change follows Krummenacher’s withdrawal from the 24 Heures Motos due to a recent COVID-19 infection. Ad/> Krzemień was a podium finisher as part of the Wójcik Racing Team line-up in the Superstock section of the EWC during the 2018/19 season.

He will join Sheridan Morais and Mathieu Gines on the #77 Wójcik Yamaha R1 for the famous French race. FIM EWCDavies named as Zanetti replacement for EWC opener16 HOURS AGO “First if all I’d like to wish Randy a quick and full recovery,” said Krzemień. “I’m happy to help my friends from the Wójcik Racing Team.

With the race just a few days away it’s been an unexpected and spontaneous decision as well as a very big challenge. On the other hand, it will be interesting to race a Yamaha with the Dunlop tyres again. We’ve raced together with the Wójcik Racing Team a few years ago with some great results so I’m looking to adapt quickly to the bike and have a strong weekend.

With such strong and experienced team-mates our goal will be to fight for the podium.” Swiss rider Krummenacher, the 2019 World Supersport champion, said: “I’m very disappointed to not be able to race in Le Mans. I’m still suffering after having COVID-19 mid-March. I don’t have the strength and concertation yet for such a demanding race and was advised by the doctors to rest.

It’s a difficult time for me, but I have to accept it and stay positive. My goal is to get back on a bike by the end of April and be able to race again in May. I wish all the best to the team for Le Mans.
