THE INDONESIAN RACING GRESINI MOTO3 TEAM IS LAUNCHED
MP1 & Gresini Racing are thrilled to announce that their partnership has grown into the Indonesian Racing Gresini Moto3 Team, which will line-up on the grid starting from the 2021 season.
This latest announcement – from the Indonesian events and sports management company MP1 – significantly strengthens their presence in the MotoGP paddock and gives the enormous Indonesian fan base a “home team” to support.
The launch of the Indonesian Racing Gresini Moto3 Team also confirms how the Italy-based squad is creating an even stronger and more solid bond with the country, with many more projects still to be developed and announced.
ROCKY SOERAPOETRA – INDONESIAN RACING CEO: “For me, Moto3 is the most exciting category on the MotoGP™️ calendar. These fearless young riders are the future stars and the racing is fantastic. As part of our long-term goal to develop young Indonesian talent, it was always key to have a strong presence on the Moto3 grid as soon as possible. Naturally, we would like to find and nurture young Indonesian riders who are capable of competing and winning in Moto3; this will come with the introduction of our academy in 2021 and from our quest to find the best young Indonesian riders. We hope to have more Indonesians on the grid for many years to come.”
CARLO MERLINI – COMMERCIAL & MARKETING DIRECTOR GRESINI RACING: “It is a historical moment, not only for the partnership between Gresini Racing and MP1 but also for an entire nation. Indonesia will have the first ever team competing in the entry class of the MotoGP world championship to represent its colors, culture and unparalleled enthusiasm for motorcycle racing. This is just the first step as the long-term vision of the project is to train young and talented Indonesian riders to one day make it into world championship. I would like once again to express my gratitude to Rocky and the MP1 team for their trust in the Gresini Racing project. Can’t wait to start this new adventure!”
