The 12 riders united under the banner of Estrella Galicia 0,0 unveiled the livery with which they will compete in all categories of the MotoGP World Championship over the weekend in Madrid, Spain.

The union between the Marc VDS Racing Team and the Monlau Repsol Technical School, under the Estrella Galicia 0,0 banner, has produced a competitive structure that begins as riders take their first racing steps in the Spanish Pre-Moto3 Championship and ends at the very pinnacle of motorcycle racing in the premier MotoGP class.

Representing Estrella Galicia 0,0 in MotoGP will be Scott Redding. The 22-year-old Briton re-joins the team with which he enjoyed his greatest success, to campaign one of only four factory Honda RC213V machines in the premier class this season.

“I’m really happy to be back with a team I know well and as the only rider,” Redding beamed. “It’s something I’ve always dreamed of, as it means all our efforts will be focussed on a single target.

“Coming back into the Marc VDS structure feels like coming home to me and the fact that I already know how they work will help us to achieve good results this season. We still have some work to do ahead of the Qatar race if we are to be a little closer to the fastest riders, but I’m confident we are going in the right direction.”

Tito Rabat will spearhead the Estrella Galicia 0,0 assault on the Moto2 World Championship. The reigning champion will race with the number one on his Kalex Moto2 machine, the first rider to do so since Moto2 replaced the 250cc category in 2010.

“It was difficult to win the championship last season, but it will be more difficult to stay on top this year,” Rabat said. “The racing will be close this season, so we need to evolve and we will need to work hard, but this is something that motivates me. My training has gone well, I feel fitter than ever and I’m approaching this season with the same enthusiasm as before.

“It’s difficult to know who my main rivals will be, but we know that the level will be raised and there will be many riders going all out to beat me this season. All I can do is my best, not just when everything is going well, but also when the inevitable difficulties arise.”

Racing alongside Rabat will be the reigning Moto3 World Champion Alex Marquez, who steps up to the intermediate class this season.

Reigning Spanish Moto3 Champion, 15-year-old Fabio Quartararo, will represent Estrella Galicia 0,0 in the Moto3 World Championship alongside Jorge Navarro, the rider who the Frenchman beat to the Spanish title last year.
