The words of Ezpeleta
“I never make predictions, because I have a lot of respect for all the riders who are competing. However I have no doubt that Marc will be at the front this year“, these are the words of Ezpeleta a Brand.
“I believe that the decision to move to Ducati was very well thought out, and therefore I respect it 100%.“, he continued. “Marc saw the situation at Honda, evaluated everything and decided to change. I know, and the whole world knows, that this choice was not easy for him and was not obvious. Marc is a thoughtful guy and if he made this decision it is because he believes it is the best“.
