From the moment that they proposed this project, I liked it and I decided to get involved.
” About the Moto2 category Banderas said: “I think it’s very interesting and that we’re going to see the true qualities of the riders.
Everyone has the same engine, which is very powerful and will underline the skill of every team and their technical staff.
They will have the opportunity to advance the bikes as they look for the perfect balance for the riders.
