HOLIDAYS OVER: MARQUEZ AND DIGGIA EAGER FOR ACTION AT SILVERSTONE
“A five, six-week break, can’t remember…” or “Enough with these holidays!”, this was a perfectly summarised common thinking at Gresini, written with the words of the team standard bearers Alex Marquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio. The last race was on June 26th at Assen, and now Silverstone is around the corner with both the Spaniard and the Italian fresh and ready for action.”
Both managed to rest, train and ride (even though it was a Panigale) at Misano in two separate days. The few kms completed helped shake some rust off and find the speed back. Di Giannantonio’s test was delay for a few days due to the right arm pump surgery he had to undergo.
The second part of the season is fast approaching and full of events, meaning a good start in England will be key for everyone and the track is a favourite one for both Alex and Diggia. The prerequisites are all there…
ALEX MARQUEZ #73
“Five or six weeks of break… I lost count. Holidays are always important to charge the batteries and now I’m looking forward to getting back on track and re-join the team. Silverstone is a very demanding track and I rested during this break, but also worked hard to be ready for what is a very important second part of the season. I like the English track, weather aside, and I can’t wait to be back.”
FABIO DI GIANNANTONIO #49
“It’s time to get back on the bike, enough with these holidays! The break was too long, but on one side it allowed to undergo arm pump surgery and to fully recover… On the other hand, we need to get back in the swing of things on the bike. Silverstone is an excellent track, among the longest ones on the calendar, and we’re really charged up. We need to take flip-flops off and put the boots back on as soon as possible!”
