“I’m really excited to return to Sachsenring, as we had some great races there in the past. I have excellent memories from the circuit and the most recent is from last year, when I got my first victory in Moto2. I know the German track really well, it’s very fast and we will try to push from the first session. We’ll have to work hard to be ready for the race, but the team and I will give it our all.”

“I like the Sachsenring circuit a lot and, in the past, we had superb races there. Despite the final result at Assen, we were very competitive on Sunday’s contest, so I hope that in Germany we can maintain the same level. We’ll have to work hard if we want to fight with the front group, however I’m confident in the team and I’m sure we’ll do a good job.”
