Considered rookie of the year in 2023 in Moto2, Sergio García will leave the number 11 and start racing with the number 3.
‘I decided to change my number after the crash in Valencia, when I was in the ambulance. It was a change I needed to make. I achieved great things in the World Championship, but I ended up not being able to enjoy it on the bike’ said the young rider, who will be riding for MT MSi next season after joining Pons.
‘I’m going to a project that’s betting big on me. Although we’ve had our ups and downs, the balance is positive. What has cost me the most is the physical changes, I had problems with my right forearm during the first few races and had to have an operation. Knowing that you can fight, but that your physical condition doesn’t allow it, I think is very hard to face’ admitted Garcia, who hopes to adapt well to the new machine.
‘It’s a risky change, because we’ll only have four bikes, but things can go well and I think it was the right time to do it. Now I’ll have to train a lot until February to be able to arrive at the tests in good condition and to give my best from the start of the World Championship’ assured the rider, quoted by the newspaper Marca.
