“I can’t wait to race at the Circuit of The Americas, since it’s a track that I like a lot and I always enjoy riding there. Last year didn’t go as we had expected, but I am sure that this weekend we will be able to take a step forward and we will work hard for a good result at the Red Bull Grand Prix of The Americas.”

“I’m looking forward to the Red Bull Grand Prix of The Americas. I’ve been working hard over the past few days in order to get into the best possible shape. Now that I have no discomfort in my arm, I’m ready to have a great race. I’ve never ridden in Austin with a Moto2 bike, so we’ll have to see how we adapt. We have to keep working. I hope to be able to enter the points and keep making progress.”
