FELO GRESINI MOTOE: FERRARI AND FINELLO TOGETHER ALSO IN 2024
The FELO GRESINI RACING line-up has been confirmed for the third consecutive year after a satisfactory season with Ferrari, who collected three victories and a total of six podiums, closing the 2023 World Championship in third position – while Finello continued his learning curve.
It’s a story with plenty of highs and very few lows the one featuring the rider number #11 and the team from Faenza: six years of joint work, passion and excellent results. After winning the first MotoE World Cup in 2019 and finishing all the following championships in the the top three, Matteo Ferrari and team FELO GRESINI RACING have extended their journey together, with the aim of bringing home the 2024 title.
Another familiar face will be present at the box: Alessio Finello has also been confirmed, and he is ready to reap the benefits of the work done in the two seasons spent in motoE. The expectations are high for an exciting year aboard his electric Ducati, the rider number #72 will be on track once again wearing the FELO-GRESINI colors, ready to raise the bar and show his talent to the world.
MATTEO FERRARI #11
“Another year together, that’s SIX! I would have never imagined to reach this number, in the racing world it’s not easy to create this type of relationship, a solid, trustworthy one, so much that it continues even after so many years with the same excitement. We will try to bring home the title: this year we let it slip away, we finished third again and I’m a bit disappointed. It was still a great season, so let’s start again from where we finished: fast, winning. There will be some new tracks, like Portimao which in my opinion with the electric Ducati will be phenomenal. I would like to thank Luca, Nadia, Carlo and all the people who work at Gresini, because they always make me feel at home and give me the maximum support. I hope to repay their trust with great results and to be able to continue in the future, who knows, maybe with some new adventures.”
ALESSIO FINELLO #72
“I’m really proud to be able to continue with the team for the third consecutive year and give continuity to a project begun a few years ago: it means that I believe a lot in the team and they believe in me, and this gives me a lot of confidence. We want to achieve the goals we have set for ourselves, it’s time to collect all the work done over the years. It will be an important season for us, I can’t wait to get started! Three years together, the second with Ducati: we know the bike and now I also know the different circuits well, so we have the experience we need to make the step. The team deserves to have both riders in the leading positions for the work they do and the support they give us. I will do everything I can to do my part and be prepared. I thank Luca, Nadia, Carlo, Michele and all the Gresini staff for giving me one more opportunity to continue this journey together: they made me feel like home from the very first moment, they’ve become like family to me”.
LUCA GRESINI – TEAM MANAGER FELO GRESINI MOTOE
“Never change a winning line-up! This is the reason why we have decided to confirm the Ferrari-Finello pairing for the third consecutive year. With Matteo we finished – for five consecutive years – in the world championship top three: after winning the very first world cup with him, for 2024 we want to repeat the result and bring home the title. This will be an important year also for Alessio: after his constant growth, the third year together will be the decisive one to make the most of the experience gathered in the previous two seasons. We can’t wait to get started!”
