“We sat back and waited for Michelin to produce this tyre. You have to question ‘wil🍸l it come at all?’
“They have had 11 years, we have 🍨had some fantastic races. I am ready for change. Pirelli has shaken up Moto3 and Moto3.

“We will see more exciting races 🍬where a rider can use his skill to save a tyre. We’v🐟e got a lot to look forward to.”
