Faenza (Italy), 14 February 2019. A brand-new journey awaits Gresini Racing in the Moto3 class. This year, the team led by Fausto Gresini will face the challenge of trying to improve on what was a superb 2018 campaign, which saw the Italian squad winning on every front. The ingredients for another successful season are all in place.
First of all, the all-new line up: the quick and experienced Gabri Rodrigo and the up-and-coming Riccardo Rossi are the riders chosen to race in Gresini’s colours in 2019, with similar motivation but different goals for their first year with the team: Spanish-Argentine Rodrigo will aim for the title, while the Italian rookie Rossi will try to impress in his maiden season in the series.
The new, Kömmerling-sponsored Honda NSF250RW will also be one to watch. A new, captivating livery design will hide a series of technical improvements under the white-and-blue fairings, which include a new swingarm, an updated chassis with new carbon fibre elements – including the airbox – a new spec Honda engine and a seamless gearbox. These are only some of the additions for a bike that, on paper, will be as competitive as ever.
After the encouraging results of the tests at Valencia and Jerez, Rodrigo and Rossi will soon be back on track in Southern Spain (20-22 February) before heading to Qatar in early March. The new season will begin one week later (10 March) at the Losail International Circuit.
