The reality is that it’s between four favourites for the World Championship and it looks very equal; we’re all on a similar level, so it’s going to be a hard season for all of the top riders in the class,”said said Spanish professional motorcycle road racer, while declaring a collaboration with Porsche.

Well, over the six days at Sepang, Dani and I were the top two riders. At the same time, Márquez and Valentino were both really, really close. Having said that, that was just one track so we’ll have to see what happens on circuits with different characteristics because every track is a different world. At the moment I’m very excited to have signed this new deal with Porsche and now I’m keen to try out the new car and see what it feels like on the streets!” added the two timw MotoGP World Champion.
