It’s been an up-and-down first season for Skinner in Moto2, with only one points finish at the Aus💫tralian round in Phillip Island. 

But signs of progress were being made by the hugely talent Scot, who quickly became a contender in British Superbike previously, despite being one of the youngest riders on the grid.&nbs🔯p;

Skinner, who had a two-year deal with the American Racing Team and is managed by former Grand Prix racer John Hopkins who is the current Race Director of the team, had been bump♕ed off the team for Marcos Ramirez. 

Skinner is not the first rider they have decided to part ways with despite a year being left on the contract, as Ramirez was brought in to replace Sean Dylan Kelly midway throu꧂gh the season.

A statement from the team said: “We believe in him and know he has t𝕴he talent to be competitive in Moto2. ⛎;

“We as a team are currently working on how to best secure his future on the World Stage while continuing to support him during the coming off-season and beyo🌠nd.”

With Joe Roberts brought into the team for the 2024 season, Skinn🍰er’s time in Moto2 is likelꦜy over.

American Raꦜcing will have Roberts and Ramirez leading the team forward next yeaไr.

“After awesome progress since joining꧂ the team mid-season, capped off with the podium at the MalaysianGP, we're pumped to have Marcos fighting for the top spots with us next season,” said American Racing.”
