The ex world championship rider, who has been with Yamaha seven years, says that the team structure has a great potential for next year. "Rub�n Xaus is a great rider, with a lot of possibilities; he is the current runner-up in World Superbikes and has great experience with four stroke bikes and especially with Ducatis".

D'Antin is convinced that "This is the most important challenge of those than I have set out to do so far, at all levels, both personal as well as professional, and it is also the same for all the team. It is an ambitious project and we must begin to work hard so that we can do it well. We are lucky this year to have the great British rider Neil Hodgson with us this year, he is the current World Superbike Champion, and with another great rider, Rub�n Xaus, who is Spanish as well, and so in addition to the hopes invested in this project he also puts his heart in it".
