In an interview with AS, Gigi Dall'Igna does not hide his enthusiasm for this rookie taken from the family KTM. Of the Spanish, the Italian says that “ he's a guy who does the impossible ”, and he adds: “ he's a driver we always wanted to have with us, from the beginning.

Dall'Igna continues his momentum: “ what is incredible is that at any moment he is capable of pushing himself to the limit of his possibilities to do well. In Portimao he should have been a little calmer, because it was only his third Grand Prix in MotoGP and there, with the accident, he understood that it is not always necessary to do every lap at a hundred percent, and now he's fantastic ».
