#44 Lucas Mahias : “It's difficult to set a precise objective for this weekend, because I don't know the bike or the championship, and it's difficult to know what my potential will be. I did a maximum of 20 laps with an electric motorcycle in training, but it was solo, so I can't compare myself to other competitors who have more experience than me. But as a driver, when you go into a race you want to win, so my goal is to be in the lead. I love the Valencia circuit and have raced there before. I think it could be good for MotoE, because it's not a very long track, like the Sachsenring.
