Big news from Gresini Racing, who confirmed its commitment in the electric class of MotoGP. The Faenza-based squad has been a protagonist in the series since its inception in 2019 and will now see FELO as the new title sponsor for the next two seasons.
FELO, a newly born leading Chinese company in the production of electric scooters, which distinguishes itself for the high-technological standard of its products, a futuristic design, and a personalised service for the client.
FELO will be the main ally of Matteo Ferrari in his chase for the 2022 title, with the Italian rider who will be racing the Energica Ego Corsa machine #11 with a new colour combination with Felo’s yellow and Gresini MotoGP’s light blue.
With a title, a third and a second in the final standings and five race wins, Matteo Ferrari will be again spearheading the team’s charge to the ultimate prize, while waiting to know who will be on the other side of the garage for the upcoming season.
ZHANG JY – CEO FELO
“Today is really an exciting day for FELO, we are delighted to announce our partnership with Gresini Racing to create the new FELO GRESINI MotoE Team. This ambitious long-term program will allow FELO to achieve 3 main goals. First of all, knowing the Gresini’s MotoE track record, I believe the FELO Gresini Team will be in the fight for the MotoE World Cup title. Secondly, for FELO this is an extraordinary opportunity to understand better the high-performance electric motorcycle world as we are planning to develop such technologies and apply them into FELO range of city e-scooters. Last but not least, the partnership with the prestigious Gresini Racing will also allow fans of electric racing worldwide to familiarize with FELO brand and FELO products. We look forward to next season!”
MATTEO FERRARI – MOTOE RIDER
“It is surely great news to be extending my partnership with the team. To be part of this family for the last four years has been an honour and it’s something that can never be given for granted for a rider, which means that both sides are working well. We have had great success together, especially in the first two seasons and, despite the difficulties, this year we managed to finish with a very positive third place overall. We want to be back in the title picture and to be fighting for the win every weekend: we already started working towards it.”
CARLO MERLINI – MARKETING AND COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR GRESINI RACING
“I’m excited to announce this new partnership with FELO. We want to show through the MotoE project how sensitive Gresini Racing is towards green topics, with an eye to electric mobility… we can say that the project developed with FELO is perfectly in line with the message we want to spread. I would like to thank Zhang not only for the trust in us but also for the enthusiasm shown while embracing Gresini’s MotoE project. Also, thanks to FELO, from 2022 we will be using electric scooters for moving around the paddock, which is another step towards zero emissions.
Matteo will be again the standard bearer of Gresini MotoE’s project and this is proof of the strength of our 2022 team. These last three years we have always been on the podium of the MotoE class, including the emotional title win in 2019. The goal is clear, to assert ourselves again at the top of this class!”
