Yonny Hernandez will race the last five races aboard the Team Pramac Ducati GP13. The Colombian will therefore replace Michele Pirro, who in turn replaced Ben Spies. The first contact will take place tomorrow, on the post-GP test day in Misano.
Currently working for the Paul Bird Motorsport team, he received authorization from the latter to "wear" the colors of Team Pramac, who had also thought of Alex de Angelis, who however has a contract with Moto2 with Team NGM Mobile .

No, I'm really sorry about Pirro...
Why replace it... too many commitments for tests?
...he was still doing his "dirty" work..close to the officers...like today..
To let him concentrate on the tests and not exhaust him
Then Pirro feels good with the "lab", but struggles to adapt to the Pramac. But I don't know if Hernandez can do better. I honestly think he's going to destroy some of it.
His replacement in PBM is likely to be John Hopkins...I'm curious to see him again in MGP...
After the injuries, he also struggled in the BSB, unfortunately
...I'm happy...certainly he won't accomplish much but at Mugello the Correntaio as he rode it was spectacular...only Lorenzo with his perfection was superior to him...I say this because I was there to watch the race and those (canaries) near me were amazed that he didn't fall at every step...a tightrope walker...he deserves a prize!!!
...supermotard school...other riders, another spirit...even MotoGP should return to the "bread and salami" of the past...
Bha knocks out a lot of bikes, but perhaps he is one of those riders who pays thanks to sponsors while Pirro is a tester who needs to be paid.
