In FIM JuniorGP, I got injured in the first race but during the summer break we practiced a lot and tried to fix everything, resulting in two wins in the category and three wins in the Rookie of the Year. . I am extremely happy with 2022 and can’t wait to start this new adventure. I hope to learn a lot from Ayumu next year but I need to draw my own experiences and learn to improve myself from them.“

“The first time I tested the Moto2 bike, I felt great. I felt comfortable really quickly and after three days I started to develop a good feeling. Step by step, I understood what a Moto2 bike needed and it was nice to not have to worry about too many electronics because you just go out, cycle and work on the setup. Focus on your riding and improve with each exit. The test is really positive, which is why I can’t wait to start the season.“

At the European Championship we were at world championship level on a number of tracks and based on the riders who entered Moto2 in 2022, I think you can also expect us to be in the top three. of the group. Of course we have to take steps and improve through the season but my aim is to be in the top 10.“
