“It was an amazing season because we had many wins, a lot of fastest laps, and numerous pole positions. It was the best year of my life. When I came here two years ago, my team gave me everything I needed to bring out my talent and speed. Thanks to them for helping me a lot, and we worked hard to achieve these important results.
I will always remember this season because, as I said, it was the best season of my life. Now, we have to celebrate because a season like this doesn’t come around every year. So, it’s time to celebrate now! And yes, starting tomorrow, we begin from scratch. I want to continue giving my maximum, and we will see how I can adapt to the Superbike.”
