It is difficult to put into words all the emotions of this incredible weekend in Barcelona, the last GP of the season. A weekend that began with a heart close to the people affected by the flood, made even more special by the extraordinary warmth of the fans who flocked to the circuit for this solidarity race.
But the most intense moment was undoubtedly the farewell to my team. A team that has been not only my team, but my family for the past five years. From Moto2 to MotoGP, they have accompanied me on an extraordinary journey of challenges, victories, difficult moments and continued growth. I wanted to dedicate the helmet to them for this race, carrying their dedications with me, over every turn, in every overtaking.
In the race I tried to keep my emotions at bay, but they were too strong. The race? It wasn’t bad, decent I would say, but I gave it my all. First I ran out of the front tire, then the back tire, and in the last ten laps I struggled to stay up. And at the end, there was a big tussle with Pedro (Acosta ed.).
This year has been complicated, yes, but also deeply meaningful. We never gave up, never stopped believing. I’ve learned a lot, I’ve grown as a driver and as a person, and so much of that I owe to them: my team. I will always carry them in my heart with infinite gratitude.
Now it is time to look forward. A new adventure awaits me, riding an official motorcycle: every rider’s dream. And I am ready to give everything, with the same passion and dedication that brought me here.
Thank you all for the support, for always being with me, on and off the track. See you soon, because the best is yet to come!
