Jörgen-Matthias Talviku has joined the Fantic Factory MXGP Team, where he will replace the injured Alberto Forato. The Italian suffered a fractured shoulder blade during last weekend’s MXGP of Great Britain, forcing him to miss the upcoming rounds.

Talviku is currently testing with Jacky Martens’ team as he prepares for his new challenge. The Estonian is set to make his official debut for the Italian factory squad next week at the MXGP of Flanders in Lommel.

The opportunity marks an important step in Talviku’s career, giving him the chance to compete at the highest level of the sport with a factory-supported team. Meanwhile, Fantic hopes he can successfully fill the void left by Forato during the remainder of the season.
