BORJA SPORT TEAM AND RIDER DANIEL COSTILLA WILL COMPETE IN THE FINAL
ROUND OF THE FIM CEV REPSOL MOTO3 JUNIOR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP IN VALENCIA
Juan Borja, General Manager (Borja Sport Team)
“We are very excited to be able to be able to compete in this final race of FIM CEV Repsol with our rider Daniel Costilla. We know it’s the championship where the riding level and the demand are higher, for both the rider and the team, but we will do everything possible to reach the Moto3 World Championship as we did with Fabio Quartararo and Juanfran Guevara.
“We must make this race as preseason training for the 2017 season. We must take the training very seriously and try to do the most laps possible. We will work to have the best bike possible. It will be challenging to have the bike at the same level of the frontrunners. However, we won’t dwell on that, instead we will work and understand the bike. We will do everything necessary to take Daniel to the Moto3 World Championship.”
Daniel Costilla, Moto3 Rider
“I am very happy to get back on the bike since I have been preparing for this day for a long time. It will be the first time getting on the bike and it won’t be easy. My main goal is to do as many laps as possible and not worry about the times. I’m confident that the more laps I can do, I will be able to be among the frontrunners. My only thought is about getting back on the bike and to work with my team. I want to thank Borja Sport Team owner Mr. Juan Borja, Metaboleanh2o, Arai Americas, Roadracing World, CycleGear, FastrackRiders, M Gymkhana® and all the people who have helped me to achieve my goals. I will not disappoint you. Thanks to all.”
