American Joe Roberts will miss the Moto2 season finale in Barcelona due to the wrist injury he suffered in Australia. Roberts had initially hoped to return to racing for the final round of the year with the American Racing Team, but it will take more time to heal the injury. Jorge Navarro will continue to deputize for Roberts. Navarro led an American Racing Team 1-2 in qualifying in Malaysia over Roberts’ regular teammate Marcos Ramirez and finished second in the Moto2 race.
