Noah Dettwiler, who was involved in a serious accident, has renounced the fixed place in next year's Moto3 World Championship that Paolo Simoncelli's Italian team had promised him.
The 20-year-old from Solothurn announced this on Instagram. "Unfortunately, it is not clear when I will be fully recovered," he explained.
However, Dettwiler left no doubt that he wants to race again. "This is my passion, my life and my work, which is why I will do everything I can to get fully fit again as quickly as possible."
Dettwiler was hit from behind by Spanish world champion José Antonio Rueda with full force on the warm-up lap before the start of the Moto3 race in Sepang on October 26. He suffered life-threatening injuries in the accident, including several cardiac arrests. Doctors performed emergency surgery to save his life.
