Davies to finish year with D'Antin
The D'Antin Ducati squad have announced that Chaz Davies will ride for them in the final three races of the year
The British rider had been linked to the ride in place of Alex Hoffman since the team parted ways with the German after the Portuguese Grand Prix, but Shinici Itoh got the ride last time out in Japan.
Davies had been offered the ride after he put in a strong performance for the team at Laguna Seca, but he was unfit to ride at Motegi.
"I am very excited to have another opportunity to race in MotoGP with Pramac D'Antin," said the 20-year-old, who will return to competitive action at the Australian Grand Prix.
"Phillip Island has been kind to me in the past with the 250cc so I hope this will transfer onto the MotoGP bike, although I expect to have to learn many more things.
"Of course I will try my best and I hope to have a lot of fun. I am also very grateful to the team and Ducati for giving me this opportunity."
