"There were different factorꦡs [to make the decision], one was the timing [in my career] to try another෴ machine and a very competitive one.

"Also I felt a very warm welcome by Massimo [Rivola], which maybe added the extra ingredient to convince me. It'll be great to be involved in a new prꦦoject with a bike that has been very consistent at every race track.

"Th💞e late effort to keep me by KTM was super fair. We were always transparent with them and they were also transparent with me.

“V𝐆inales helped me understand the potential of the [Aprilia] bike because he arriveꦑd from spending his career on inline engines. That maybe convinced me more than Aleix’s results.”

"For me he was a ridܫer that stayed a really long time in MotoGP and was a great athlete, a great rider.

"Of course, it’s a big name going away from MotoGP. I think he won mꦆore than 15 races in MotoGP so he is a big rider and I wish hom the best after this race." 

"I'm a little disappointed🐼 [not to be chosen], but not because of Enea, he deserved it.

"Anyway I'm༺ happy and will try to make history with Pramac by winning the champions𒁏hip next year.

"I hope if I battle with Enea and Pecco [for the t♏itle] next year I'll 🅰get the same support as them."

"I'm r🧜eally motivated for next season but I know it will also be a hard challenge and the pressure will be higher.

"I'm also happy to beಌ team-mate with Pecco, we've race💟d together since pocketbikes!

"The decision was not easy for Ducati because ღalso Jorge is really fast.

"Now I want to be more consistent for the future to be a title contender. I think I can learn🐼 a lot from Pecco. He's fast and manages the weekend well. Also he canꦉ learn something for me."

"To go to the factory 𒉰team would have been a nice dream, but it was more for ﷺthe younger guys.

"My relationship w☂ith the Ducati bosses is good and I'm old enough to🐻 joke with them. When they were deciding on a Spanish or Italian guy, I said 'France is right in the middle!'

"But 🅷to keep someone performing in the satellite team is also pretty important to them and the team and I'm happy to stay."

Remy Ga𒀰rdner: Only one year in MotoGP breaks my heart

Reigning Moto2 champion Remy Gardner says KTM have ‘broken my hꦺeart’ by leaving him without a MotoGP seat for 2023.

The Australian, son of 1987 500cc world champion Wayne Gardner, admitted his premier-class future was suddenly looking very bleak&nb𓄧sp;at the end of the recent Red Buꦬll Ring event.

U💯pon arrival at Misano on Thursday, Gardner confirmed he now has to try and salvage something outside of the pre🅺mier class for 2023:

“Nothing is clear ꦆat the moment… But I’m not going to be in MotoGP.”

"I’m happy. I didn’❀t want to help decide who would be my te꧅am-mate because I think it’s a decision [that needs] to come from the team and not the rider.

"In any case I think we can do a good job with Enea. I know him v𝄹ery well from when we were young.

"The most impo𝔍rtant is to let him know and to let him learn our t💯ype of work that can be great."
