Our aim is to achieve the top positions and I believe we can count on my personal experience, plus a great team of professionals and on the evolution of the 2014 winning bike.”

Andrea Petricca, Team General Manager: “I’m really pleased to have reached this agreement with Leon, who is totally aligned to our project, which aims for increasingly ambitious results. Leon is an expert rider and this will support us to run the next season at the highest level. We are confident about the real chance to get the best results.”
