Emilio Alzamora, Team manager: “It is a satisfaction to announce the arrival of Sergio García to our team in the Moto3 World Championship. As we have done since the start of his career with us in 2015, we will put all our experience and resources at the service of his development as a professional driver. Both Sergio García and Alonso López are two drivers who have a lot to learn, but who also have great potential in the World Cup given what they have already shown so far.
We will continue to fight for the podium and victory until the end of this season with Arón Canet. In three years at the World Cup, we supported and trained him to achieve his first pole, his first podium and his first victory. We therefore believe that now is the time to give a new trajectory to our project. »
