What does it mean to you to wear the Repsol Honda colours for the first time?<\/strong>
\n“Wearing these colours is something amazing. I have been seeing the best riders in the world winning titles and races for many years with these colours. These colours mean glory to me. It means you have everything in your hands. They mean being where every rider wants to succeed and where all riders want to end up. When I was racing in 125cc, Moto2 and even MotoGP, this team were on the podium practically at every race.
\nSeeing these colours alongside your number is amazing. It’s something super special. From the beginning I was very clear about where I wanted to go, where I should be and where I wanted to see myself in order to test myself and see what I was capable of. The best way to do that is to be on the best team in the world, with the best bike in the world and next to the best rider in the world. I think I am coming to the Repsol Honda Team at the best time of my career. Being where you want to be, at the right time, means fulfilling a dream, and therefore without a doubt I am fulfilling my dream right now.”<\/p>\n

What do you think of the RC213V from what you\u2019ve seen?<\/strong>
\n\u201cI have seen this bike many times in photos and videos and I see it\u2019s a pretty physically small bike. These shorter bikes where you can manage the bike like you want, tend to move a little bit more but it\u2019s the kind of bike I like to ride. You have a big input on the bike, you\u2019re the one telling the bike what to do. Sometimes for sure you need to force the bike to do one or two things the bike doesn\u2019t want to do, but it\u2019s my way of riding. I like to brake late, and I have seen that every rider who has got on the Repsol Honda manages to brake very late and very aggressively; that favours me a lot because of my riding style.”<\/p>\n

What goals have you set yourself for the 2021 season?<\/strong>
\n“The main goal for the season can\u2019t go another way than being on the podium or trying to win races, or even the world title. We need to improve our results from last year, I had a good year, but it can be better, and I will try my hardest to. The first year isn\u2019t going to be easy but I did not come to the Repsol Honda Team to fight for the top six in the championship, I came here to achieve the highest goal in my career which is to be MotoGP World Champion one day. For sure winning races and this goal can be achieved here at Repsol Honda.\u201d<\/p>\n

“I will give my maximum effort to achieve what this team and this brand have been doing in recent years”<\/p>\n
