Statements by Fabio Di Giannantonio, Gresini Racing Team presentation

“I have always used 21 but I couldn't use it because Morbidelli has it, I chose 49 because it has never been used in MotoGP and I want to try to make history by putting this number at the top. I can't wait to try this beast on the track! I'm nervous because it's a dream come true. Fausto has always believed in me, we have done many things together and now we are here together anyway. I will have to work lap after lap and learn the data to improve. I will have to learn a lot, I expect to grow race after race and maybe we'll see, we can also get some satisfaction. Soon we will be back on track for testing, we go to Malaysia and then to Indonesia. I can't wait to drive this beautiful beast again. Winter is always too long, I'm counting the days, the hours! Then the bike is wonderful, perhaps the most beautiful I've ever ridden, the most beautiful I've ever seen. With this single main color it looks a bit like a 70s motorbike, retro style, we will certainly be recognizable on the track.
Very special, very original, BEAUTIFUL. A unique emotion. I took the right path because it's important to get to MotoGP, if I learn quickly I can do well in the first year. Everyone has their own story."
