“I’m happy to make it official that we’ve come to an agreement with Alex Marquez to continue in the team next season,” adds Marc van der Straten. “We want Alex to remain our benchmark and the rider with whom we’ll fight for the Moto2 World Championship, as we are doing this year. Alex has shown he has the potential and talent to be at the front, fighting for wins and getting on the podium. With this renewal we continue a project, along with Estrella Galicia 0,0, that gives riders the chance to develop their sporting career in an atmosphere that’s familial and human, but at the same time at professional and highly competitive.”
