Ottl gets late EWC call-up as substitute Davies forced to withdraw

Philipp Öttl will make his FIM Endurance World Championship debut as a late replacement for Chaz Davies at ERC Endurance-Ducati when the 24 Heures Motos opens the new season from 14-17 April. Davies had been called up by the German squad following Lorenzo Zanetti’s crash in a Campionato Italiano Velocità race at Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli earlier this month.

Ad/> But after falling ill in the build-up to the day and night spectacular at Le Mans, Davies will not take part with Öttl partnering Spaniards David Checa and Xavi Forès instead. Germany’s Marc Moser remains in his role as the team’s fourth rider.

I have the advantage, that I already did a lot races at Le Mans during my Moto3 and Moto2 times and I know the track very well.” L’article Ottl gets late EWC call-up as substitute Davies forced to withdraw est apparu en premier sur FIM EWC | Endurance World Championship.
