Sito Pons, Team Principal: “It’s a shame Augusto’s injury and not being able to have him with us in Austin. We had started the season very well and a rider doesn’t like to miss a Grand Prix, but as not taking more risks than necessary it is better to preserve its good recovery in order to be able to face the Spanish Grand Prix in full physical condition. We have thought in Mattia Pasini, an experienced rider who has already shown himself to be very fast in the Moto2 class, so we welcome him to this weekend and we will work together to achieve a good result.”
