31Damien Saulnier - Team Manager: ;I have a thought for the former SERT team, without whom we would not be here today. I also think about Vincent Philippe who was with us for the victory at the Bol d’Or. But I am also very proud of my new team. The SERT have always been a great human history and it is important for me to continue in this direction. I would also like to thank our partners, Dunlop, Motul, Yoshimura and of course all the others that helped us a lot and with whom we will continue the adventure.” Gregg Black; “Last year we missed the title. But we did it in 2020 with a new team. It has TEAM SUZUKI RACING NEWSbeen a complicated year and this last race wasn’t easy either because we had to manage our advantage in the championship.
