OLI JOINS THE GRESINI RACING PROJECT IN 2019
Gresini Racing welcomes a new important partner in OLI, for a new and exciting all-around partnership. OLI is a leading company in the production of rinsing cisterns and shower drain systems, will compete alongside Team Kömmerling Gresini Moto3 and Federal Oil Gresini Moto2 in 2019.
OLI makes a strong entrance in the MotoGP World Championship by getting great visibility in the lower and front fairings of the Kalex machine #22 as well as on the lower fairing of the two Honda #19 and #54. The company logo will also be present on Sam Lowes, Riccardo Rossi and Gabriel Rodrigo’s leathers and helmets.
A good number of communication and marketing activities will also be developed around this new partnership: for example, an important promotional event will take place at the end of September in Portugal (where the headquarters of the company are based) with Gresini Racing riders and show bikes.
ANTÓNIO OLIVEIRA – CEO OLI S.A.: “OLI is inspired by water with the goal to reduce the consumption of it. The motorcycling industry has been an excellent laboratory to develop new technologies as ways to reduce fuel consumption were developed. We found in motorsport a new inspiration to win challenges and overcome barriers while aiming at perfection and reducing consumption – of water, in our case.
FAUSTO GRESINI – TEAM MANAGER: “It is with great pleasure that we welcome such an important company among our partners, with the confidence of reaching great goals throughout a season that has just started. With their international reach, OLI match perfectly with Gresini Racing Team’s philosophy. I’m fully convinced that we can do great things together in Moto3, where Rodrigo is back to full fitness after the collarbone injury and Rossi is improving, and Moto2, as we all know how good Lowes’s talent really is.”
