“I am very happy as this season has been very hard for me. We are beginning a project for next year to be back in the World Championship and this will be a good occasion to get back in touch with with my world. This season I have ridden for a couple of races in the 250cc category in Assen and Sachsenring concluding in fourth and seventh position therefore I feel physical ready. It’s like a dream come true to find my self all of a sudden in MotoGP. I want to thanks the Pramac Racing Team that is giving me this opportunity to compete at the top level of Motorcycle road racing.”
