SPIELBERG: FERRARI AND MANTOVANI READY FOR PENULTIMATE ROUND OF 2021 MOTOE SEASON  

Team Indonesian E-Racing Gresini MotoE is ready to return on one of the ‘historical’ tracks of the electric class of MotoGP. Spielberg will host this weekend the penultimate event of the 2021 FIM MotoE World Cup, with Matteo Ferrari still looking for his first podium finish of the season.

With a 30-point gap from his former teammate and current leader Zaccone, and with the double round at Misano deciding the 2021 title winner, Spielberg becomes the most important round on the calendar: a good result would insert the #11 rider in the title picture.

Andrea Mantovani is ready for yet another debut as he is yet to turn wheels at this track. The goal will be to improve on his so-far best result of the season – an eighth place scored at Jerez de la Frontera – and to continue improving on his Energica machine #9.

 MATTEO FERRARI #11

(7th in the world cup standings – 40 points)

“The race at Assen and the nearly missed podium allowed us to have a relaxed break. I trained hard, knowing I can go to Austria and be part of the game. It’s a good track, even though it’s one of the toughest in terms of set-up. We will need a performing bike both under braking and on corner exit. We have good memories from 2019, when I finished in the top five so we can only get there and do our best.”

ANDREA MANTOVANI #9

(15th in the world cup standings – 12 points)

“I have never raced in Austria before, so the only thing I could do is to take a look at the track with my PlayStation. No problem in any case, we have the data from Matteo and we will start from there. We will not start from scratch like in Assen. The change to be strong are there, because Matteo made a great step forward in the Netherlands and I need to stay in his slipstream and improve, too.”
