I raced in the Moto3 world championship for three years, but if we count my years CEV years I have been racing on a Moto3 bike since 2012. When I was fighting for the Moto3 championship last year, I had the change already in mind: I felt I was ready to step up. Once you make this decision, there\u2019s no looking back. Obviously, I wanted to race with a top team and when the opportunity to join Federal Oil Moto2 Gresini Team, I knew what I had to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe Moto2 machine is different because\u2026<\/strong> it weights almost twice as much as a Moto3 bike, 140kg compared to 80kg. It has more power but requires a more precise riding style. To master a Moto3 bike is much easier, but I think Moto2 suits my riding style much better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>The experience of team Gresini can help me to\u2026<\/strong> improve and grow up as a rider. This is a team where everybody knows each other very well, and they all fit together nicely. On the technical side of things, I\u2019m sure I can learn a lot from them; we will improve step by step and increase our expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>In Qatar\u2026<\/strong> we will need to focus a lot on our pace ahead of the race. I will get there with great enthusiasm, but it will be the same for my opponents, too. We need to keep both feet on the ground: it\u2019ll be my first Moto2 race so it won\u2019t be a walk in the park. Every rider wants to be up there, and I think we\u2019ll have a chance to battle at the front if we work well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI will be happy at the end of the season if\u2026<\/strong> we enjoyed our time, made some good experience, scored some valuable points and if I had some fun on the bike. If all of this happens, there\u2019s a great chance we\u2019ll finish in a good spot.\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Jorge Navarro is ready to make his Moto2 debut at the Losail International Circuit this weekend as the Qatari venue hosts the opening Grand Prix of the year.
