“I am really pleased to be back with the Repsol Honda Team again in 2022, we pushed hard for the title last year and my motivation is the same to fight for victory again. This year brings a new challenge with the new MotoGP 22 game, as does each year in eSports. I think we will see a lot of familiar faces in the mix but also a couple of new players. Let’s start the year well with these two races.”
