After losing their founder and team boss Fausto Gresini due to Covid 19 in February 2021.The MotoGP team faced almost certain death. However, the team’s late founder Fausto Gresini’s wife Nadia Padovani took over and kept the team alive.
With only two bikes and a two-year contract with Ducati to field GP21s on the grid for next season. Gresini Racing revealed its all-new look: a high-end, bespoke design from Aldo Drudi’s Italdesign subsidiary.
During the event, NadiaPadovani said.
“We’re finally presenting a project we strongly believed in. And one we have been working non-stop for during the last year,” Padovani said.
We’re very motivated, and we ended up being the first MotoGP team to present itself; plus. I believe our bikes are beautiful – and I hope all the others will like them, too.
I want to think Fausto is looking at us from above and proud of his family.
There is almost no distinction between natural and working families. We’re one.
I must say that I saw both Diggia and Enea in great shape and eager to start.We’re aiming at being among the protagonists and show up at the parc ferme sometimes”.
