San Marino, September 7, 2023 – Sean Dylan Kelly will be replacing Alex Escrig as the rider for the upcoming GPs in Misano, India, and Japan.

Following a longer recovery time than anticipated for the young rider Alex Escrig, the Forward Team announces Sean Dylan Kelly as the substitute rider until his return, scheduled for the Indonesia race.

The young American, previously with another team in the Moto2 Championship and recovering from an unsuccessful compartment syndrome surgery, had the opportunity to test the Forward Team’s motorcycle during the Pirelli tests held on Monday, September 4th, in Barcelona, and is physically prepared to take on this new challenge alongside the Italo- Swiss racing team.

The team wishes Escrig a speedy recovery and extends its official welcome to Kelly.

SEAN DYLAN KELLY – #4

“I’m extremely happy to be back on the grid! I haven’t been riding a moto2 since Assen and so I’m extremely grateful for this opportunity from forward racing. Of course I have to miss out on the British GP because I was recovering from my arm pump surgery done during the summer break. Now I feel 100% ready and I’m extremely excited for this opportunity. I want to wish Alex the best and I hope he comes back strong in Indonesia!”
