The Spanish-based Husqvarna Factory Laglisse Team has announced it will field a new rider in Moto3 when the World Championship resumes after the summer break, parting ways with Isaac Vinales.

Promising young Italian rider Lorenzo Dalla Porta is joining the team as of the 10th round of the competition in Indianapolis on the weekend of 9 August.

Dalla Porta has been given the opportunity to move up to Moto3 as a result of his strong performance in the Spanish-based Moto3 Junior World Championship (CEV), where his excellent results as part of the Laglisse Academy have brought him to the attention of the Husqvarna Factory line-up.

The Laglisse Academy is committed to providing from the ground up training for riders within the CEV structure to expedite their advancement into the world championship level competition.

Dalla Porta will race for the team for the final nine rounds alongside teammate Maria Herrera, one of only two women in the competition. Herrera, who was also a very successful competitor in the CEV, is currently in her rookie season with Husqvarna Factory Laglisse and is on an upward curve in her performance and results.

The young Italian replaces Vinales, who joined Team Laglisse in 2014. It was agreed that he would – depending achieving certain goals – ride with Husqvarna Factory Laglisse until the halfway point of 2015, but unfortunately the results have not reflected the team’s expectations, according to Laglisse CEO Jaime Fdez-Aviles.

Later it was confirmed that Vinales will fill in for RBA Racing’s injured Ana Carrasco at Indianapolis. Carrasco broke the top of her humerus in her left shoulder after her crash in the German Grand Prix.
