1/3. Due to irre🅰concilable differences I've decided to part ways with Kiefer Racing and the Moto2 Team.-- Da🌄nny Kent (@DannyKent52)
2/3. It's been a difficu🍌lt period since joining the team and I don't feel I'm able to reach my potential so I've decided to step 𝄹away.-- Danny Kent (@DannyKent52)
3/3. I'm still hungry & determined & believe I can be competitive in Moto2. I wish Ki𝕴efer Racing the best for the future.--ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ Danny Kent (@DannyKent52)
Team-mate Dominique Aegerter claimed Suter's best result of the year with fifth place on Suꦓnday.
Team boss Stefan Kiefer declared:
"In practice, three Suter MMX2 bikes were in ꧒thꩲe top eleven. And in the race, both Dominique and Marcel demonstrated how competitive our package is.
"Dominique🐻 finished just te🐠n seconds behind the race winner and just one second behind Alex M?rquez, the early race leader. Marcel was not far behind. Taking this into consideration, Danny's decision is certainly not easy to understand.
"But of course, we will respect his decisi𒁃on. By mid next week, we hope to be able to announce the replacement rider for the upcoming Grand Prix at Jerez🦩."
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 yea⛦rs and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
