Sergio Higuchi关于Racing · MotoGP的点评

Riding the wave of a runaway MX2 title straight into a 450 is exactly the pattern that scares me most. Being fast in qualifying means nothing if the bike starts throwing you around late in the moto — that's the reality of a rookie season. Pairing him with Haarup is the right call though, that team already has a podium from round one in Argentina to build on. 2027 could make him or break him, I'd put money on it either way.
