“It has been a tough end to the season.. The results do not reflect the effort and level of both the team and the drivers., but we are aware that in racing anything can happen. Ayer, they attacked Aleix Viu, he couldn't do anything, another driver was too far behind and caused Aleix to end up on the ground. At the moment, Our options to win the title were complicated. Hoy, again, in the first round, A rider touched it and having to waste time fixing the bike, has finally retired.
Regarding the Superbike category, today with Oscar has been a shame, yesterday he placed second and had a good feeling for the second race. But today, past the halfway point of the race, while he was leading, has fallen and in this way, we have lost the options of becoming runners-up with Oscar. Finally, we have done third parties both with Oscar, like with Aleix. In the case of Alex, I think he has had very bad luck in this last stretch of the season.
By Abdulla and Mario Mayor, They have continued with their evolution and have been able to improve throughout the weekend and the season.
By last, thank everyone, to the sponsors and to those who make it possible for us to have this project year after year. Now it's time to rest and think about next year.”
