That fact made Morbidelli feel like he had managed to get his revenge after becoming the best Yamaha rider considering he was distinguished by three rider other.

“This is a fantastic season. I do not hide the fact that earlier this season I felt like the 4th Yamaha rider,” said Morbidelli quoted from the website. Tuttomotoriweb.

“I’m not saying that I feel left out. That’s not true. However, the fact that I use a different bike than the other three Yamaha riders makes me feel marginalized,” said Morbidelli.

“However, we managed to concentrate all this anger by continuing to work hard with the team. It all paid off at the end of this season,” said Morbidelli.

“We have taken a very good revenge. I am satisfied and proud of the achievements this season,” said the Italian racer.
