Spanish WorldSBK star Jordi Torres will got straight on a plane from Magny-Cours to Thailand after again getting the nod to stand-in for Tito Rabat on the Avintia Ducati.
Rabat has been released from hospital but isn't able to ride at Buriram this weekend so Torres is again in the seat and also has an advantage after plenty of WorldSBK laps at the track.
“After the great experience of Aragon, where I had to absorb a lot of information over the weekend to adapt to my riding style to the MotoGP category, it s fantastic to have another chance and to get back on the bike in Thailand," said Torres.
"I know the circuit very well, because we have been racing there in the last four years of the World Superbike championship. It’s a track that I like and I where I had good races. We will have to make the best of FP1 on Friday to catch up with the others and to keep improving. I must get down to the maximum lean angle and learn how to pick up the bike on the corners exits as quickly as possible.
"There are many things that I figured out in my head and now it’s time to apply this knowledge to the bike. Let’s see if I can ride more smoothly and if I can score a decent result on Sunday."
