Former Moto3 contender Danny Webb has been called up to stand in for the injured Kyle Smith in the Dynavolt Triumph British Supersport team.

Smith had a disastrous Silverstone weekend, as with just six laps of the Northamptonshire circuit completed, he high-sided at Becketts landing heavily which resulted in a fracture to his pelvis, effectively ruling him out of the rest of the season.

“Firstly I would like to send my well wishes to Kyle who has done an amazing job this year and I hope he has a speedy recovery.  I’m really excited and grateful to Simon and the team for this opportunity to step in on the Dynavolt Triumph," said Webb.  

"It’s a great opportunity for me to get back on a bike and help the team gather some more data.  The first time I will be out will be Oulton Park, it will be a big change of scenery but I’m looking forward to it.

"I just have to say a big thank you to the WRP family for letting me take this opportunity and I’m looking forward to jumping on the bike at Oulton Park.”
