Davy had suffered his share of setbacks this year and we will do everything in our power to guide him towards his best potential," team manager Martin van Genderen said.

The team will soon start with preparations for the 2017 season. There is a whacking 20 GP's on the calendar, of which two will be in the Netherlands, namely at Valkenswaard and Assen.
