“For next💫 year, it’s going to be hard to change because you cannot change the engine,🅰 even though I like the engine a lot. You cannot change the engine.

“Y൲ou can change small things, but everything is frozen. It will be hard next ye🥀ar to do a bigger step. But for me, the big step will come in ’27 I think.”

“So, I never felt worried for the future because I alwaysꦺ talked to them.

“We need to build up something amaz🌃ing for th🐟e future. They never said nothing different.

“They always accepted that in this kind of situation they🎃 will have to work p꧑retty strong.

“But obviously I don’t even have a contract for ’27, but that is what’s on my mind and what I wouꦕld like.

“I would like to do an amazing bike. We have the potential. We have Dani [Pedrosa], Pol [Es🅰pargaro], gr💖eat technicians. So, we must do it. This is an opportunity.”
