Moto2: Danny Kent splits from Kiefer Racing

Kent a🌠nd his 🌱management are understood to be looking for an alternative ride for the rest of the season.
1/3. Due to irreconcilable differencꦯes I've decided to part ways with Kiefer Racing and the Moto2 Team.-- Danny Kent (@DannyKent52)
2/3. It's been a difficult 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 🧔Kiefer Racing the best for the future.-- Danny Kent (@DannyKent52)
Team-mate Dominique Aegerter claimed Suter's best r❀esult of the year with fifth place on Sunday.
Team boss Stefan Kiefer declared:
"In practice, three Suter꧋ MMX2 bikes were in the top eleven. And in the race, both Dominique and Marcel demonstra🐓ted how competitive our package is.
"Dominique finished just ten seconds behind the race winner and just one second behind Alex M?rquez, the ear🐠ly 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 decision. B🔥y mid next week, we hope to be able to announce the replacement rider for the upcoming G𒊎rand Prix at Jerez."
Peter has been🉐 in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
