The MTHelmets-MSi squad meets in full at the Portuguese GP

MOTO 2
This weekend, from 22nd to 24th March, the Portuguese Grand Prix takes place and the whole MTHelmets-MSi squad moves to continue working hard this season. In Moto2, Sergio Garcia and Ai Ogura couldn't have had a better season and category opener at the Qatar GP. Garcia took third place on the podium and Ogura was on the verge of reaching the podium on his Boscoscuro.
Sergio García:
"We are looking forward to Portugal after a good result in Qatar. I think the main objective this weekend is to focus on having a good qualifying. In this category it is very important to start at the front, to be ready for the race. We are going for it and we are more eager than ever".
Ai Ogura:
 "When we went to the winter test in Portimao we didn't have good weather conditions, but I still think it was positive. In Qatar we had a good start to the season and we improved on a lot of things; on Sunday we were able to do a great job. I'm looking forward to another race, we will keep working in the same way, because fortunately the feeling is very good".

MOTO 3
In the Moto3 class they are also doing an extraordinary job and both riders are very strong this season, Iván Ortolá was the rider with the best pace in Qatar and in Portimao he hopes to maintain the same dynamic, but this time being able to finish on Sunday. Just like Ryusei Yamanaka, who is very ready to get a good result in the second round of 2024.
Iván Ortolá:
"I'm looking forward to the weekend in Portugal. In Qatar there was no luck, but I was the strongest to fight for the top of the podium; I think we have everything to fight for the victory in every race. We just have to work, as we have done so far."
Ryusei Yamanaka:
"I had a good feeling in the winter test in Portimao and in Qatar we were able to set good lap times. So in this weekend's GP we will work to have a good pace and try to enjoy the race."
