The new season will resume from the confirmation of <strong>Matteo Ferrari<\/strong>: the 2019 World Champion and 2020 series runner-up will be at the starting blocks of the new season, with the goal to remain at the sharp end of the series and try to reclaim the MotoE crown.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Andrea Mantovani<\/strong> will be at Ferrari\u2019s side. The 26-year-old from Ferrara lands in MotoE from the Italian Championship of Speed (CIV) \u2013 Superbike category \u2013 and he will test his skills for the first time with the Energica Ego Corsa machine. He will race with the number 9.<\/p>\n<p>The first test of 2021 will take palce at the Angel Nieto Circuit of Jerez de la Frontera (which will host the season opener) in March. Two sessions of three days each \u2013 one from the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> to the 4<sup>th<\/sup> and the second one from the 29<sup>th<\/sup> to the 31<sup>st<\/sup> of the same month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MATTEO FERRARI #11<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201c2021 will be my third year with team Gresini, with whom I have been a protagonist in both of the MotoE World Cup seasons I\u2019ve partaken in. The victory in 2019 and the runner up spot in 2020 are very important result, especially if we take into account that this was a new category for everybody. I took the challenge knowing that I had to adapt quickly to a new riding style and thanks to the help from everybody around me, I was able to find the right riding style and speed needed to be always a protagonist. The experience gathered until now makes me look at the future with confidence in my abilities, even when I\u2019ll move to a different category and will need to adapt again to different motorcycles. The goal me and the team have is to match the same level of performance that we\u2019ve shown so far. I would like to thank Fausto Gresini for the opportunity to get involved in the project and to be able to successfully tackle this MotoE challenge, which helped me grow further.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>ANDREA MANTOVANI #9<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very happy to be taking part in this world cup in 2021. It will be a completely new experience as I have only ridden traditional-engine motorcycles so far. There\u2019s a lot of curiosity to disover the \u2018electric-powered\u2019 side of racing, both at power and riding style levels. It will be no doubt a very constructive year with the hope of having fun and growing a lot during the season. My thanks go to Fausto Gresini and all the sponsors for giving me this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>FAUSTO GRESINI \u2013 TEAM MANAGER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis category continues to surprise in terms of competition and spectacular nature and we\u2019re happy to be lining up for this new season, with the goal of being protagonists once again. In 2020 we have narrowly missed on the second title and battled for it up to the last race: the idea is to fight for again and with Matteo I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll be able to do it. I\u2019d like to welcome Andrea, a young Italian rider who\u2019s eager to do well, and we\u2019ll do our best to put him in position to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>2021 CALENDAR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2 MAY \u2013 Spain \u2013 Circuito de Jerez-\u00c1ngel Nieto<\/p>\n<p>16 MAY \u2013 France \u2013 Le Mans<\/p>\n<p>6 JUNE \u2013 Spain \u2013 Circuit de Barcelona<\/p>\n<p>27 JUNE \u2013 The Netherlands \u2013 TT Circuit Assen<\/p>\n<p>15 AUGUST \u2013 Austria \u2013 Red Bull Ring<\/p>\n<p>18-19 SEPTEMBER \u2013 Italy \u2013 Misano WC Marco Simoncelli (2 races)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new \u2018electric\u2019 line-up of Team Gresini has been confirmed, as the Italian squad places their hopes once again on young Italian riders.
