GRESINI RACING’S 2021 MOTO2 PROJECT UNVEILED
A new journey is about to begin also in the Moto2 class, with a whole new Team Federal Oil Gresini. Plenty of work will be carried out during the preseason by both riders but also by the partly-new staff, with two new crew chiefs (Donatello Giovanotti for Bulega and Marco Urani for Di Giannantonio).
For Nicolò Bulega, 2021 will be a crucial year in Moto2 as the Italian rider is looking for a consistency in terms of performance which he was unable to find last season. With injuries now a distant memory, he will try to make the most of the experienced gathered aboard the Kalex machine.
This is a welcome return home for Fabio Di Giannantonio, who made his Moto3 World Championship debut and tasted victory with the team. In 2020 he managed to improve his performance throughout the season and to step onto the podium. He cannot wait to get his season started under Gresini’s Moto2 banner, with only one goal: the world championship title.
He will still have to wait a few more days for the first test, scheduled at Valencia on February 24-25.
NICOLÓ BULEGA – 11
“It was a rather unique presentation and we still have to get used to this new status quo… We’re charged up mentally and we worked well during the winter as a new team: the goal will be to be consistent, something we lacked quite a bit in 2020, and I’m confident we will be able to have fun and do well. I am training well and still recovering from the shoulder injury, but we’re following the plan and I’m very happy with the progress made. A thought also goes to Fausto, I don’t know how he felt and how he is feeling, but surely is not easy. The only thing I can do from my side is to send him the most positive energy.”
FABIO DI GIANNANTONIO – 21
“Obviously I cannot wait to try the Kalex, as I had to miss the last test of 2020 due to a small injury. Winter went well because my knee is fully healed, and I feel almost 100% fit. I need to step up my game compared to last year, which means being a protagonist in every event and try to get on the podium and win races. The boys in the team are working hard and I’m really charged up. I still don’t have a name for my new bike, but I will let you know… I must try it first. We need to do our best for ourselves and Fausto: he won’t give up, and he’ll be back stronger than ever.”
