FOURTH BACK-TO-BACK ROUNDS IN THE SEASON FOR TEAM GRESINI MOTOGP  

With the disappointment of Montmeló behind, here comes a fresh opportunity for Team Gresini MotoGP to get into the long summer break with a positive momentum. Sachsenring and Assen are the next venues on the calendar, and both events are going to be crucial for Enea Bastianini and Fabio Di Giannantonio.

The #23, who is still third in the championship standings despite the two DNFs at Mugello and in Catalunya, is eager to bounce back at to circuits where he has been on the podium during his Moto3 times (2015-2016 at Sachsenring and 2018 in Assen).

The #49 is looking forward to continuing the positive trend shown in the latest outings at two circuits that have been kind to him in the pest (he was fourth in Germany last year in the Moto2 category, while he was on the podium at Assen in his Moto3 debut season in 2016).

History time – Team Gresini MotoGP was six times on the podium at the two tracks between 2003 and 2006, including two wins by Sete Gibernau and four second-place finishes (two by Marco Melandri).

#23 ENEA BASTIANINI (3rd in the championship standings with 94 points)

“Last year in Germany I wasn’t as competitive ad I’d hoped. We’re coming from a disappointing race, so we are eager to improve and to recover that lost feeling with the front-end of the bike that would allow us to race at the front. Sachsenring is not among my favourite tracks, but if we manage to set the bike up right, we can have fun. Assen is clearly among my favourite tracks, as it is both difficult and technical at the same time: last year I struggled there, but this year I’m better prepared. It will be a very challenging trip.”

#49 FABIO DI GIANNANTONIO (22nd in the championship standings with 8 points)

“The goal for the next two races stays the same: we need to make further steps forward compared to the last outing: I like Sachsenring a lot and I was always quick there. It’s an anti-clockwise track and I only know how to turn left (he laughs), so it’s an advantage. I also like Assen, I always had a good feeling there both in Moto3 and Moto2, so I see no reason why we cannot continue on the positive direction we’ve taken.”
