Forés said: “I’m very happy to come back to the series with a strong team like Oxford Products Racing Ducati. It was an easy conversation between Wilf and myself to arrange the deal. I wanted to race after a crazy season and he was happy to have me on the team.

Team Owner Steve Moore concluded: “It is obviously a hugely disappointing outcome for Christian to miss the final round of the season, but the priority is for him to recover from his surgery and start working towards his recovery. We have had some real highlights this season; a victory and a further seven podium finishes and remained in the fight for the title until the closing stages.
“To have a rider of Xavi’s calibre to join us this weekend is a great opportunity. He has plenty of experience across a multitude of classes, disciplines and manufacturers and so I am looking forward to him being a part of the team this weekend. We have no pressure or expectations on him, but we will are aiming to work with his feedback and keep moving forward throughout the weekend.”
