The RES Software Veidec Racing Team has announced that Colombian Martin Cardenas will replace the injured Robbin Harms at Portimao. Harms, who hails from Denmark, is still recuperating from deep back and rib bruises incurred in the warm-up session at the Imola round. Cardenas, who raced this year for team M4 Emgo Suzuki in the AMA Daytona Sportbike class, where he finished the year in third place, has 250 GP experience and is widely regarded as one of the rising stars on the American racing scene.
