Britain’s Fraser Rogers will make his Moto2 debut at the Portimao MotoGP round he stands in for the injured Barry Baltus.

Rogers, who will compete full-time in the Pirelli National Superstock series in 2021, has previously competed in the World Supersport Championship and British Superbikes.

In addition, he has participated in the Red Bull Rookies Cup, Moto3 class and its predecessor, the 125cc class.

“First of all I want to thank the NTS RW team for giving me this opportunity. It can’t go fast enough for me,” said Rogers, who will join the NTS RW Racing team in Portugal.

“I can’t wait to get to the track and get on the NTS bike. My goal is to learn from every lap and improve in every session.

“I also want to enjoy this moment and give my 100 per cent to the team and try to achieve the maximum this weekend.”
