Sandro Cortese to switch to Moto2 in 2013

Current Moto3 points leader Sandro Cortese will be switching to Moto2 next season.
The German rider who has a very hefty 46 point lead over rival Maverick Viñales, has confimed that he has signed a two-year deal with a new team that will debut with a Kalex chassis under the banner of Intact GP, after Cortese’s personal sponsors Intact Batteries and construction company Kuhn Bau decided to up their support.

“I am really happy to be making the switch to Moto2.
With Juergen Lingg [his crewchief in Racing Team Germany in 2011] and Intact I’ll have one of the most professional teams in the Motorcycle World Championship at my side from 2013, which will focus solely on me for the first two years.
I think this is the best thing that can happen to me! However, right now, I am focusing primarily on the Moto3 World Championship title,” said Cortese.
Cortese has three race victories and eight podiums and six pole positions so far this season, while closest rival Vinales has five wins, one podium and five pole positions, but has also scored two DNFs compared to the veteran GP rider.
