ASTRA OTOPARTS AND GRESINI Moto2 TO CONTINUE PARTNERSHIP IN 2018
The 2018 MotoGP World Championship season will see the continuation of the partnership between Astra Otoparts and Gresini Racing.
The white and red livery of Team Federal Oil Gresini Moto2’s bike will be sporting once again the logos of ASPIRA – the trusted cars and motorcycles spare parts brand of Astra Otoparts group and GS ASTRA, the brand through which Astra Otoparts group distributes batteries for cars and motorcycles.
With the team’s expectations being higher than ever after the confirmation of Jorge Navarro for a second year in the series, the partnership between Astra Otoparts and Gresini Racing is stronger than ever: the goal for 2018 is, in fact, to compete at the very front of the field in the middleweight class of MotoGP.
The six-year journey together has helped consolidating and strengthening Team Gresini Moto2’s name within the Indonesian market.
YUSAK KRISTIAN – Astra Otoparts Director
“ASPIRA and GS Astra committed to extend the sponsorship for MotoGP 2018, with the Team Federal Oil Gresini Moto2. It is our goal for ASPIRA and GS Astra’s customers – especially those who are also MotoGP enthusiasts – to be proud that Indonesian brands are able to join the MotoGP hype, alongside other international brands that already join for a long time. We believe ASPIRA and GS Astra will be better known internationally, so it will increase the pride of Indonesia. We know that the challenges are there, therefore we chose Gresini Racing with its rider Jorge Navarro to face those challenges and show us better performances in each race”.
FAUSTO GRESINI – Team Manager
“The continuation of the partnership with Astra Otoparts is something really important, because it’s proof of continuing trust not only to my company, but also to the Gresini Moto2 project as a whole – which was joined by Astra Otoparts five years ago along with the support of a strong group of Indonesian companies. We won races together but we also bet on riders with huge talent and potential, like Jorge for example – who’s having a really competitive rookie year. We’re confident he’ll be among the fastest riders in 2018.”
