“It was my first podium, also Pecco’s first podium, in the Spanish Championship. The problem was I was about the same height as I am now, and honestly Pecco was up to about here on me (points to hip), tiny little guy and if I look back on this moment and think, you know. I always thought this young kid, how old were you? 13, 14? Eh, if you think back, to then, and think that we would be teammates in the factory Ducati Team and be 1-2 in Jerez in 2021… you don’t believe it. You say you don’t believe it, but dreams do come true. Yeah, 10 years… that’s pretty impressive. That’s cool, that’s f*****g cool.”
