Fraser Rog♛ers is set to make his Moto2 World Championship debut at the Portuguese Gran🎶d Prix this weekend, deputising for Barry Baltus in the NTS RW Racing GP team.

Rogers will replace Baltus due to💦 the Belgian rider’s fractured left wrist injury he suffered at the opening round in Qatar. 

Rogers will compete full-time in the Pirelli National Supe☂rstock series in 2021, but also 𓄧has World Supersport and British Superbike experience.

With that s🐬aid, this will be the biggest opportunity of the 25 year-old’s career as he gets set to compete in what he called the ‘coming races’. 

It remains to be seen how long the British rider will deputise for Baltu𝓰s, but speaking ahead of his debut, Rogers said: "Thank you to the whole RW Racing NTS Moto2 team for giving me this opportun🅘ity. 

"I honestly cannot wait to get to the track and ride the bike. My goal is to learn with every la🍰p and improve throughout every s👍ession. 

"I want to enjoy the experience and give it my all for the tea꧟m and see how we progress and where we end up at the end of the weekend♔."
