British rider Danny Kent will reunite with the Red Bull KTM Ajo Moto3 World Championship team next season.

Following a year in Moto2 with Tech3, the 19-year-old will join Australian Jack Miller and Karel Hanika to complete the Red Bull KTM Ajo line-up for 2014.

“I am very happy to be returning to the Red Bull KTM Ajo team,” Kent commented. “I think that this is the best opportunity possible. This is a very hard-working group, very professional and always in the fight for wins and titles.

“I want to make the most of this second spell with the team and finish as high up the order as possible at every race. I can’t wait to get started and begin working hard.

“My collarbone injury is getting better every day, I have more movement, so I think that I will be ready for the first test in November.

“Red Bull KTM Ajo are a group of professionals who work very hard, and that is why they have won so much. Their way of working and that of Aki [Ajo] are different to other teams, and I like it.

“Aki is strict and methodical. I want to make the most of his experience, listening and learning from all the advice that he gives me.”

Ajo is confident Kent will shine after a full season of experience gained in Moto2.

“I am very enthusiastic to have Danny Kent onboard for next season, forming an excellent trio with Jack and Karel,” he said. “In 2011 and 2012 I had the chance to work with him, and I am very happy with that experience.

“With an extra year of racing under his belt, this second opportunity to work with him will be very fruitful for both parties. I am sure that we will understand one another easily from day one and be stronger, so I can’t wait for the first tests in November.

“I’m sure that this past year will be very useful for Danny’s performances next year. He has taken good results and has learnt a lot. Moto2 is a different category, I am convinced that he will be even stronger in Moto3.”

Kent’s signing confirms that South Australian Arthur Sissis will exit the team in 2014 after a two-year stint.
