Bastianini And Di Giannantonio Ready To Discover The Red Bull Ring

Gresini Racing Team Moto3 riders Enea Bastianini and Fabio Di Giannantonio will be back on track this weekend in the tenth round of the 2016 campaign, the Austrian Grand Prix on the fast Red Bull Ring, where the World Championship returns for first time since 1997.

Despite the uncertainty represented by a new track, both Bastianini and Di Giannantonio arrive in Austria in high spirits: the 18-year-old rider from Rimini and the 17-year-old rookie from Rome are in fact fresh by the excellent performance shown last July 17 in the German Grand Prix, followed by an extremely positive test at the Brno circuit.

ENEA BASTIANINI
“I’ve never been at the Red Bull Ring, though I heard some riders who had some test there and apparently it’s a nice and very fast track, so I’m sure I will love it right away! It will be important to learn the track quickly and to be fast from the start, as always, in order to work well on the bike. In Germany I have managed to be fast also in the wet, getting a good result: now I feel stronger in all conditions and I’m more relaxed from this point of view, so I’m heading to Austria confident. In addition, the test in Brno enabled us to find good set-up solutions that can also be useful for this race. We can do well!”.

FABIO DI GIANNANTONIO
“Despite the question mark represented by a new track, we arrive in Austria in good spirits: we could take advantage of almost a month off and I trained a lot, both on the bike and in the gym, and I feel ready to start again. I cannot wait to get back on the bike, because the test at Brno after the German Grand Prix has been very positive, and in Austria we want to seek confirmation on the validity of the solutions tested on the bike. The goal is still the top ten, as always”.

FAUSTO GRESINI
“In Germany we have got a great team result, with both riders in the top five despite difficult conditions: it was undoubtedly the best way to start the long summer break. Now we are ready to get back on track: in Austria kicks off a very intense period of the season and we want to continue this positive trend. Enea has proven to be fast also in the wet and this has made him stronger, so we expect to see him again among the fastest. Fabio has already impressed us for his great growth: we don’t forget that he’s a rookie, so definitely we expect that he will be fast, but his goal remains to enter the top ten”.
