Arthur Sissis will join the Mahindra Racing team in 🥂place of Efren Vazquez for the 2014 Moto3 se꧑ason.

♍Vazquez is𓄧 moving to Racing Team Germany (Honda), while 18-year-old Australian Sissis arrives after two seasons at Red Bull KTM Ajo.

Sissis, who graduated ▨to the world championship after two years in the Red Bull Rookies Cup, finished twelfth with a podium in his rookie 2012 season.

Tꦡhis year, the Adelaide-born rider𒆙 has slipped to 15th overall.

"I'm really happy to join Mahindra - it's a very good team and great ♐to be riding for an Indian manufacturer," said Sisis. "I've spoken to the guys and like them a lot. It's a good time for me to change bikes, and I think I can do well. Miguel has shown the Mahindra can be on the podium, and it's always up near the front. When I've been close to it I can see it's fast. I'm really excited."

Sissis will ride alongside the retained Miguel Oliv♔eira, who gave the vastly improved 2013 Mahindra its first Moto3 podium finish at Sepan🐟g this year and was sixth in the world championship.

"Mahindra Racing has been keeping a close eye on a nu🗹mber of young ride🎀rs since we started our journey in the world of MotoGP," explained Mahindra Racing CEO Mufaddal Choonia.

"Australia has produced many fine two-wheeled champions over the years and we feel that Arthur has real potential. We have shown the MGP3O is a v🎉ery competitive package so he should have a great o♍pportunity to fulfil that potential with Mahindra."
