The Toulousain said he was "happy and proud to join the Estrella Galicia 0.0 Marc VDS team next year to participate in the new FIM Enel MotoE World Cup. I have always dreamed of working with this team. Its results make it one of the references in the paddock of the Grands Prix. The electric bike is something new, and the Marc VDS team experience will be very important. We will all have the same bike, the same tires ... It will make the difference to the piloting, and for that to be well surrounded will be determining. I warmly thank Marc Van der Straten for his trust. "
