The World Championship will see its’ fourth round of the season in the extended partnership. As the third round of the season was pure drama, when Dani Pedrosa passed the defending world champion, Jorge Lorenzo in the last and fourth lap of the race, more
can be expected in the upcoming clash on the world famous circuit, in France.
