Following the recent injury of Dylan Ferrandis who will regrettably miss the rest of the season, team Monster Energy Kawasaki MX2 Racing Team has signed young Bulgarian Petar Petrov for the remaining of the FIM MX2 Motocross World Championship.
Just a week from now at Matterley Basin, Jordi Tixier and Thomas Covington will greet a new teammate. Just 20 years old, Petar already has huge experience of the MX2 class as he raced the GP‰Ûªs since 2010 after promising results in the 85 and 125 classes.
For the first time in his career the young Bulgarian will race on a factory bike. After claiming several top tens and a couple of top five results in the past, Petar is ready for another challenge.
He will have several days of testing to become familiar with his new bike and new team before moving to Great Britain to compete in the seventh round of the GP world series scheduled for May 23rd and 24th.
‰ÛÏI am very happy and excited about this chance." Petrov stated. "Team Monster Energy Kawasaki MX2 Racing Team is a factory team and I‰Ûªm very happy that they believe in me.
"I think I can do well with the support they are offering and with the experience they have. I am really looking forward to racing with them and to see what happens. Naturally I want to thank all the staff for their trust and for believing in me.‰Û
