“It is a turning point. We faced this year’s World Championship with a lot of motivation, with the aim of fighting for the title, but as Moto3 is such a crazy category there were no fixed expectations. This beginning is a sign, it is a declaration of “here we are, to fight for the title”, while being aware that there are very strong rivals. For example, for me the top favourite is still Tony Arbolino, who finished fourth last year, or the Leopard team, because last year their riders were really strong… We are now ahead of them; we have demonstrated our potential and we have room to continue improving and fighting for our goals. The way to face the races will be the same, without high expectations, but with a little more force thanks to this start. We will go race by race, especially after this situation we are experiencing now.”
