With Agostini, and many others being on a similar scheme and the opportunity to use an M1 is a really an honor. It ‘a very special year for Yamaha and we hope that these colors bring us luck ” . Ben is also enthusiastic: “It’s nice to run with these colors. It ‘s a great year for Yamaha. Also in the home race to wear this livery is fantastic. I think it’s beautiful and I hope to be worthy to ride. ” To be honest, we would like to see it as official livery for the rest of the season!
