“We are happy and proud of what we have achieved”

“Reaching the 200th Grand Prix milestone makes me extremely proud. Not only because of it is a great achievement but also because of how we have reached it. From our first appearance on the grid in 2010 until today, we have tried to be faithful to our team philosophy, our way of understanding motorcycling and team work, which has always been based on excellence and the culture of effort. Throughout these 200 Grand Prix we have lived great experiences and reaped the rewards of a job well done in the form of numerous podiums, victories and three World Championships. Many people have accompanied us along the way: magnificent riders, impeccable professionals, loyal sponsors and the best fans in the world. Without all of them we would not be where we are. We are happy and proud of what we have achieved but, more importantly, we are looking forward to continue adding chapters to our fantastic story.”
