Kepa Burutxaga (Team manager):

“For Benny, we had the opportunity to work together in a test of 2017 and we were pleasantly surprised! As young as he is, he has accumulated a lot of experience with several bikes and categories in his professional career. We wish for a strong start to the season and to enjoy the great duo that Edgar and Benny can be.”

Anscari Nadal (Technical director):

“I have known Benny since he was 11, I helped him during his 125cc days back in America, then the Red Bull Rookies cup and later with the 600cc. Benny is very mature for his age, he has a lot of technical knowledge which helps a lot in testing for feedback. I am very happy for Benny, his family and for the AGR Team, I can’t wait to see him in the first race!”

“I’m very thankful to Anscari and AGR for that one day test, it meant a lot to me. I’ve dreamt of racing a Moto2 bike so to sign with the AGR Team feels amazing! Since I was 10 my goal has been to race in the world championship and now, with AGR, we have the opportunity. I cant wait to get out there and start racing! All the sacrifices from my family were for a shot like this, many other people have supported me along the way so I am excited to make you all proud.”
