The injured Rory Skinner will be r𒁏eplaced by Richard Kerr at Brands Hatch this week💞end.

Cheshire Moulding𓆏s BMW rider will miss the upcoming seventh round of the British Superbike Championship season after breaking his leg earlier this month following a crash at Sn꧒etterton.

“It’s been a whirlwind few ꦐdays,” Skinner said. “Certainly, crashing out of a race at Snetterton wasn’t in the plan.

“Breaking my tibia and fibula wasn’t in the plan eit🍷her.

“I managed to get an operation done in Norwich hospi⛄tal.

“Thanks to all the pꩲeople who stayed to give me a hand.

“I’m not sure how long I’ll be off for. I’v🍨e got a 36cm titanium rod right through my tibia, at the minute.

“I am allowing everything to settle down in the hypꦍerbaric chamber.

“Once things start mo𝓡ving more freely, I’ll get the phys🐭io underway.

“From there, hopefully not long until I’m on the bike 🥃again.”

At Brands Hatch this we⛄ekend, Skinner will be replaced by Kerr.

Keꦫrr is the reigning Pirelli National Superstock Cham♌pion who will debut in BSB.

He is likely to remain on the TAS Racing prepared M 1000 RR Superbike for longer, depending upon the length of S🌟kinner’s recovery.

Kerr, 23, is has been racing in Moto America’s ღSuperstock se📖ries this season.

“First of all, I’d like to wish Rory a speedy recovery,” Kerr꧃ said.

“As a racer no one likes to be out injured and especially as he has been doing such꧙ a great job foꦡr the team.

“I’ve known the TAS guys for 🍨quite some time and have obvꦰiously raced against them in Superstock.

“I’m also aware of thei🌞r pedigree and history, so when asked to stand in for Rory in British Superbike, it was an easy decision to make. I’m looking forward to the challenge and representing Cheshire Mouldings BMW in BSB and I’d like to thank the team for this opportunity.”

Team Manager Steve Plater commented: “A few weꦡeks in racing can certainly throw a few curve balls.

“Rory has shown great pedigree this season in BSB, as has Davey in the Superstock series, so taking this into consideration, we felt it best for D𝄹avey to continue in Superstock and chase his second title in the class – this time for Cheshire Mouldings BM♒W.

“Taking on Superstock ⛄and Superbike is just too mu💛ch to ask of one rider and he understands the decision.

“Richard is a talented young man and full🀅y understands that he will stand in until Rory🐟 is fit to ride.

“He comes with a title under his belt, and we are confident he is the correct choice ♕in the circumstances. It’s always nice to give up-and-coming young riders an opportunity and I firmly believe he will fit in very well at TAS Racing.”
