I would also like to thank all Federal Oil fans and enthusiasts: you are the reason why we are where we are today.”
Fausto Gresini, Team Manager: “It’s an honour, but most importantly a pleasure to be sharing this thirty-year anniversary with a sponsor that has been tied to Gresini Racing’s history for so many years. Our wish is to reach a lot more goals together, and it would be incredible if the first would be this weekend in Austria, where we’ll be racing with an anniversary logo on Jorge’s bike.”
Jorge Navarro #9: “All those stop and sections in Austria are not the best for my riding style, but last year we were able to get decent qualifying (11th) and a good race result (8th). After the good performance at Brno last weekend, we’re motivated to do well – so that we can also celebrate Federal Oil’s anniversary the best way.”
