The Misano GP is an important weekend for GO&FUN Gresini teams and Fausto Gresini has announced his Moto3 line-up for the 2014 season, keeping Niccolò Antonelli and signing Ongetta-Centro Seta’s current rider Isaac Vinales.
Vinales is the cousin of the more famous Moto3 rider Maverick (who will switching to Moto2 next year and riding for Sito Pons) and is currently 16th in the standings, one spot ahead of Antonelli, and dropping rookie Lorenzo Baldassarri who hasn’t scored a point this season.
Gresini is expected to change to KTM Moto3 machinery next season.
I always believed in this project and today I am more convinced about it than ever.
We have put together a new line-up of two promising youngsters with Niccolò, who has been with us for two years already, and Isaac Viñales in the belief that they can both be serious contenders in the Moto3 class in 2014.
Bruno Bollini (Presidente GO&FUN) shares my belief and together we have the right enthusiasm to create a winning team,” said Fausto Gresini.
Bruno Bollini (President of GO&FUN) said, “I immediately found the “Progetto Giovani” that Fausto Gresini proposed to me an exciting prospect and like our products we think we have a team that has the right ‘energy’ to be successful next season.
I am proud to have two young and promising riders like Niccolò Antonelli – who we already have an excellent relationship with – and the big Spanish talent Isaac Vinales on board.
I am sure that next year Team GO&FUN Moto3 will be a winning package.
