MARCO BEZZECCHI, #72: “I’m extremely happy to be returning to Europe. There are always lots of fans in Jerez and it’s a fantastic track. We have a strong desire to continue doing well, so we’ll try to have a good weekend, working as best we can together with the entire team and also trying to have fun.”
JORGE MARTÍN, #89: “After a great season start, it’s important to confirm those same sensations in Jerez as well. I can’t wait to get back on the track. This is my home race and lots of my fans will be there. It will be a demanding weekend because it has never been one of my best tracks, but I really want to confirm my form and keep working.”
LORENZO SAVADORI, #32: “It’s nice to get back to doing a race weekend. We’ll have a few new solutions to test during the weekend with the goal of growing the RS-GP26. It will be important to collect as much information as possible so the updates can be implemented on the two factory riders’ bikes for the tests on Monday.”
