British young gun Luke Mossey will stand in for the injured Luca Marconi in the PTR Honda World Supersport team at this weekend's eighth round of the World Supersport Championship at Moscow in Russia.

Marconi suffered a broken arm at the last round of WSS at Imola in Italy and the injury has not recovered enough for him to race in Russia, so he has withdrawn from the event.

"I can't wait to get with the PTR team, I am so happy to be racing in Russia. This is my first time racing in WSS abroad, so my aim is to hopefully do a good job for the team and myself and see where it leads from there," he said.
