"There was a very important meeting this week between the two teams, their lawyers and myself. We talked a lot at that time, and Thursday morning, Ralph Denk, Richard Plugge and I had another meeting. At the end of it, we settled on an amount that satisfied both parties. I think it is the best thing for everyone. If it's my best shot? It's a big day for me because my job is to do the best possible for my rider," concludes Alex Carera.
