We were struck by his great determination to arrive, it reminded us of the beginning with Tony. Furthermore, he comes from the KTM planet and, being tall, I hope he feels better on the Honda. Furthermore, next year, he is in his second year of world championships and will therefore already know the tracks. He seemed like the perfect rookie for us and we are delighted to welcome him.”
