“My hand injury is fully recovered, so I feel ready to fight for the title again and I think the new camouflage decoration is a good change, I like the new look and it’s good to change a bit”, Quartararo said in the team’s presentation.
“But most importantly, I’m looking forward to riding again and I’m very curious to test the 2023 YZR-M1 in Sepang.although we will work hard this season, as we always do and we have learned a lot in 2022, so now I just want to fight for the title again,” the French champion is convinced.
His teammate, Franco Morbidelli said that they are starting “from scratch with a new decoration” And that’s why “everything is back to zero and everything is possible this season, so it’s an exciting prospect.”
“We finished 2022 with a feeling of improvement, although now it is important that we do a good job in the next winter tests, so that we are ready to start the season in March with the first race in Portugal,” said Morbidelli , who recalled: “There is a new race format, which the drivers and teams have to get used to, but I see it as a positive change because it is something that the fans will enjoy.”
