“Last year I had a lot of fun in Jerez and the welcome from the fans was fantastic. It’s a special place, we all know that. For us it will also be important to verify some references that emerged in the tests in the context of a race. It’s the main reason to take to the track to compete.” – Dani Pedrosa
“I’m very happy to be racing again, especially because it will happen at Mugello, a very special place to get on a MotoGP. It will be nice to be back on the grid with my colleagues. The tests so far have gone very well, I’m motivated. After the injury in 2023 I am back to what I once was. I can’t wait to return to the MotoGP ‘family’ and demonstrate that the work done in the tests was tough, that we are fast.” – Pol Espargaro
