BACK TO EUROPE FOR THE FINAL TWO ROUNDS: PORTIMAO AND VALENCIA, WITH ARENAS AND GARCIA
After a long run overseas, the team ITALJET GRESINI Moto2 is on the move again for the last two races of the season. First stop: Portugal, at the famous Algarve circuit known as “rollercoaster” for its ups and downs, before heading to Spain at the historic Valencia track.
Albert Arenas is ready to give his all in these last two races. Last year he crossed the finish line in eighth position at Portimao, but this weekend his goal is set much higher. Then comes his home race, where the support of friends and family will give him an extra boost for an exciting season finale.
On the other side of the garage, Darryn Binder will not be present as he had to undergo another surgery on his left ulna. To take his place will be the Spaniard Sergio Garcia, who will make his Gresini debut a few weekends earlier than planned. It’s a great opportunity for him to get to know the team that will be his home in 2026, and to regain confidence and a good feeling on his Moto2 bike.

“We’re back in Europe for the last two races of the season: we’re in good shape and we’re fast, now we just need to put everything together with an efficient package for Sunday. I want to make the most of these final two races of the season — Portimao and Valencia — to get back on the podium, and why not, go for the win, especially in Valencia, which will be a special one for me: my home race and my last one with this team. I want to finish it off with a great victory.”
SERGIO GARCIA #3
“First of all, I want to wish Darryn a speedy recovery. This is a great opportunity for both myself and the team to get to know each other and start working together before the upcoming test. I can’t wait to get back on the bike, and I want to thank the Gresini team for giving me this chance. This time at home has been quite tough, but I kept training and working hard to maintain a competitive mindset. I’m ready to get back on track and start fighting in the races again!”
