Bahattin Sofuoglu has departed the MV Agusta World Supersport team for the remainder of the 2024 season and will be replaced by ex-Mo💦to2 racer Bo Bendsneyder.

Turkish racer Sofuoglu joined the MV team for the 2022 season as part of the WorldSSP Challenge grid, but made a full🧔-time step with the squ☂ad the following year.

Sofuoglu 🧸managed a race win🌸 at the Barcelona round of the series and a brace of podiums at Most, but hasn’t been able to breach the rostrum in 2024 in an injury hit campaign.

Currently 13th in the standings, he is 106 points shy of the leading MV of Marcel Sc🎐hrotter in fifth.

In his place comes Dutch rider Bendsneyder, who was recently dropped by the Preicanos Moto2 squad followi💫ng the San Marino Grand Prix.

The team cited lacking results and a “leak of con🌞fidential information” leading to tensions flaring within the squad as reason for parting aways with the one-time podium finisher before the end of 2024.

S🔯et for his WorldSSP debut at Estoril next weekend, Bendsneyder said: “I am very happy to begin this new adventure with MV ꧃Agusta Reparto Corse.

“I thank Andrea [Quadranti] for the trust and for giving me the o꧑pportunity to race in these two races.

“I am ready and very motivated, I can't wait to start working with the team, to give ♌my best already꧋ at Estoril and Jerez.”

Team boss Quadranti added: “I welcome Bo to the MV Agusta🎃 RC te𓃲am.

“I am very happy to have him in our team for🅷 next 💛year.

“The next two races will be a sort of dress ♔rehearsal in view⛎ of the winter preparation.

“I thank Bahattin for the work hꦅe’s done i𝄹n these three years with us.

“We have sh🐭ared so many exciting moment🦹s and I wish him all the best for his future.”
