His chief engineer told him, Christian Lundbergwho had already made champion Danny Kent, Joan Mir and Lorenzo della Portowith the order, the idea, the strategy that “you will only win, we will only take the title, if you become the leader and prevent Sasaki from being able to set the pace of the race, because he has not played very cleanly, to be honest.”

“Here, in that triumph and title, is the work of many people and the love and encouragement of my family, my girlfriend and, most especially, my parents, whom I am already grateful to hug, because this title is more “His than mine,” the brand new world champion continued explaining.

And I hope there, in Cheste, we can take the dream photo of the three Spanish champions, Pedro (Acosta), Jorge (Martín, MotoGP) and I, we all deserve it and Spanish motorcycling deserves it.”
