“These are situations that we had taken into consideration and, quite simply, we should have accepted them”Gigi recognizes.
“As I always say, my goal was to have all three driversincluding Martin. Simply, when I understood that the system had said that there were too many and that it was impossible to keep all three, I simply had to make a choice, which is the one we had made and which I am always convinced,” says Dall. ‘Igna.
Márquez already wears red… and Martín already wears number 89 on the Aprilia. A new era has begun in MotoGP.
