Yamaha got us used to it badly from the start of the year. Barely hatched, the idea of renewing its drivers for the 2021 and 2022 seasons has been made official, thus suddenly depriving the transfer market of essential pieces Viñales and Quartararo. Suddenly, the announcements for Marc Márquez and Álex Rins were to follow. But both did not renew their lease, leaving Honda and Suzuki respectively in the lurch. That's what's called making the pleasure last...
We are here, like the simple delay of a train which will inevitably enter the station. But in MotoGP, everything can happen very quickly, and we must therefore monitor this situation like milk on fire. If Marc Márquez has not yet signed anything with Honda, Alex Rins has not further confirmed his situation with Suzuki. “ I'm happy with Suzuki, but at the same time we haven't signed anything yet, I'm free to talk with other teams » commented the double winner of the 2019 MotoGP season.
« It's my manager's job to deal with these things. I don't know, I don't want to think too much, I'm focusing on this year » completes the teammate of a Joan mir which has no sign yet either... We won't know any more. So we might as well consider the 2020 campaign on the GSX-RR: “ we tried in Sepang to improve compared to 2019 by trying innovations in many areas like chassis, aerodynamics, electronics, and I am happy with the result. We finished third in the general classification. But I'm even happier with the pace in the race ", has explained Kidneys à Sky.
« We have also worked a lot on the engine, it is obvious that it is more powerful, we are not overtaking Ducati in a straight line but we will try to follow them… », added the Suzuki rider. In Sepang, there was a good balance: “ Yamaha, Aprilia and KTM are said to have made significant progress, in the end I saw Viñales going very fast. »
A mention which leads him to an evaluation of the competition: “ It will be necessary to remember that the Yamaha satellite team is practically an official team this year. Quartararo will have the same bike as Rossi and Viñales. As for Marc Márquez I expect to see him 100% fit during the first race ».
He finishes : " I aim for victory or at least to get on the podium in many races, to be able to fight for the title. I know it takes perseverance to get into the top 3 of the rankings. You will first have to try not to fall, to finish all the races. I am excited to begin. »
