Due to the tragic incident involving Moto2 rider Luis Salom, the entire Tech3 team would like to send their deepest condolences to his family, the SAG team and everyone else affected. It was an honour for us all to be touched by his passion for racing, his kindness and good nature and it was a privilege to race with Luis over the years. He will forever remain in our hearts and we will stand united with all those affected.
