[kropotkin thinks...] - Wildcard Rider McPhee Gets Full-Time Opportunity In Moto3 Wit

If you enjoyed reading this article, please click here to view it on Kropotkin's site, MotoGP Matters.

-----------------

Young Scottish rider John McPhee is to be drafted in as a full-time replacement for injured Frenchman Alexis Masbou, who broke a femur in a private test, in the Caretta Technology team. McPhee is to race under the flag of the Caretta Technology team, but will be contesting his existing KRP chassis. McPhee will be getting the full Grand Prix-spec Honda Moto3 engine, rather than the standard Honda unit he has raced so far.

McPhee has been quietly impressive in his three wildcard appearances in Moto3 so far, even scoring a point in his last race at Brno. Given the horsepower deficit the young Scot is giving away, scoring points in the highly competitive Moto3 class is a sign that there is more to come from McPhee. McPhee is one of the youngsters being backed by the Racing Steps Foundation, a private initiative aimed at supporting young British racing talent on both two wheels and four. McPhee's elevation into the Grand Prix paddock is one of the first signs that the RSF's long-term approach is starting to pay off.

Below is the official press release from Caretta Technology announcing McPhee's replacement of Masbou:
