Jaume Masià – Moto3 first race winner
“It was difficult race, with many overtakings and quite a high pace. Alonso [López] and Vicente [Pérez] were very aggressive, so we had to restrain ourselves and don’t follow his game. I’m very happy of having got another win. I want to thank my team for their support and to everyone that came to support me.”

Eric Granado – Moto2 race winner and Moto2 European Champion
“It was a very exciting race. We had a perfect weekend and I was fast from the beginning. The race was very hard, I didn’t make a good start and the first laps were very confusing. In the end, though, I found my pace and I was able to catch up with the group and I stayed some laps with Steven [Odendaal] and Joe [Roberts]. When I saw that Ricky [Cardús] was getting closer I told myself: ‘do your best or you’ll be in trouble’. Then I passed them and I was able to do some good laps and build a good advantage. In the end, the last four laps were like riding under the rain, because I didn’t want to take too many risks. I’m very happy. Now it’s time to celebrate it with my family and work for the next year.”

Álex Toledo – European Talent Cup race winner
“Truth is I knew that I had to win to get the runner up position and that’s what I did. Being runner up is very nice. My main idea was to get first to the last corner, but I managed lap after lap and I saw that I was strong braking in the last corner, so I took my chances.”
Manuel González – European Talent Cup Champion
“I feel very well because it was a very nice year, with good battles, with many riders fighting to win the championship. All the races were in group and there were many overtakings. It was a lot of fun. In the end, the work went well and I’m very happy with what we did. Many thanks to my team, because they always did their best for me, and also to my sponsors and everyone that supports me.”
