We're all excited about this new beginning. Having Remy and Dominique with us represents a thrilling challenge that everyone in the team is looking forward to.

We'll try to help them to reach their maximum potential from the very first races, with the goal of progressing and improving at each round. I want to thank Yamaha for the support they give us every year; we're more than ready to begin a new season together. In the same way, I'd like to thank all the partners who will support us again and say welcome to the new ones who will be crucial to the team's results.
