  1. FERMIN COMES BACK, ALEX CRASHES AT SPIELBERG

    Posted on

    ALEX MARQUEZ
    “It’s a shame because, despite a difficult weekend, we had managed to find something that was helping me during the race. Unfortunately, I lost some time in a few battles and then made a mistake that compromised our Sunday. Now we have a week to recover, and then we’ll start thinking about Japan.”

    FERMIN ALDEGUER #54
    “We have to be satisfied. We made a good comeback after starting from the fourth row. We were fast, had a good pace, and fought with Marc for the position of best Ducati… As always, our weekends start off so-so with qualifying and then often improve. If we had started further up, who knows, but today we did well.”

     

  2. FERMIN, SECOND FASTEST. ALEX CRASHES BUT MAKES IT INTO Q2

    Posted on

    FERMÍN ALDEGUER #54
    “The first objective has been achieved. We wanted to be fast from the very beginning and try to improve our performance over a single lap. The feeling wasn’t the best today, but we managed to set a good lap time and we have to be satisfied with that. We’ve made a good start, and now we’ll have to work to be competitive again tomorrow. It’s an important end to the season, both to recover physically and to continue improving.”

    ALEX MÁRQUEZ
    “I had a small issue with the front brake, which led to this unexpected crash. The impact was hard, but I’m okay, although I’ll need a long physiotherapy session this afternoon. In the end, we managed to make it into Q2, but at least at the moment we’re not competitive enough to stay with the front runners. After this Friday, I have to say that Pedro is definitely one step ahead.”

     

     

  3. DEA SYSTEM RENEWS PARTNERSHIP WITH BK8 GRESINI MOTOGP TEAM

    Posted on

    The partnership between Gresini Racing and DEA SYSTEM continues with renewed momentum and ambitious goals on the horizon. Led by Nadia Padovani, the MotoGP team and the Italian company—specialists in the design and manufacture of automation systems for buildings and public spaces—have extended their collaboration into the coming seasons, further strengthening a relationship first established in 2023 and built on shared values such as innovation, passion, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

    An Italian company with a strong international footprint and 14 subsidiaries worldwide, DEA SYSTEM will continue to stand alongside the BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP as an official sponsor. The brand will remain featured on the team’s Desmosedici bikes, riders’ leathers, and across all team communication assets, including garage panels and transport trucks.

    The two-year agreement also introduces two major new additions: Dani Holgado and Joan Mir will become the new riders of the MotoGP squad starting from the 2027 season.

    MAURIZIO ODOARDI – CEO, DEA SYSTEM
    “We are proud to renew our partnership with Gresini Racing, a team that perfectly embodies the values we believe in: passion, innovation, determination, and a constant pursuit of peak performance. Over the years, we have had the opportunity to appreciate not only the team’s sporting results, but also the professionalism, expertise, and collaborative spirit that define every Gresini Racing activity. We strongly believe in this partnership because we share a common vision: transforming technology, talent, and teamwork into tangible results. Just as on the track, in our industry we know that success comes from the ability to coordinate people, skills, and innovation towards a common goal. For this reason, we are delighted to continue this journey with Gresini Racing, looking with enthusiasm at the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in the coming seasons.”

    CARLO MERLINI – COMMERCIAL & MARKETING DIRECTOR, GRESINI RACING
    “I am delighted to announce the continuation of the collaboration between DEA System and Gresini Racing. Those who know Gresini Racing are well aware that a cornerstone of our partnerships is building relationships based on shared values and team spirit—fundamental elements for developing long-lasting and successful collaborations. From the very beginning, we have found all of these elements in DEA System: pursuit of excellence, team spirit, and passion. With these foundations, it feels completely natural to continue this collaboration. A sincere thank you to DEA System, to Maurizio, and to his entire team for their trust in our projects and for once again choosing us as a partner to support their commercial and marketing strategies.”

     

     

  4. FERMIN SHINES IN QUALIFYING, ALEX WITH A STRONG COMEBACK IN THE SPRINT

    Posted on

    ALEX MARQUEZ
    “Let’s just say that we weren’t very lucky this morning. Starting that far back on a track like Misano is really difficult. In the Sprint, however, we definitely made a good start, and then we also had a little bit of luck with a few overtakes. I have to say that we have the bike and the race pace, but we’ll need that little bit of luck again tomorrow if we want to aim for a good result, starting from the third row.”

    FERMIN ALDEGUER #54
    “The idea was to stay behind Marc and Bezzecchi. I knew we could match their pace and maybe the three of us could pull away. Then Diggia passed me, and the others, Pedro and Raul, also joined us. With so many bikes ahead, the tyre pressure went up and it was impossible to overtake. We learned something for tomorrow, and we need to make sure we control our position over the first two or three laps.”

    Posted on

    Gresini30Seasons returns to Misano, and the tribute was as heartfelt as it was inevitable. This Sunday, the fairings of Alex Marquez and Fermin Aldeguer’s bikes will pay full tribute to the machine that accompanied Marco Simoncelli during his tragically short MotoGP career.

    In the presence of Paolo Simoncelli, Carmelo and Carlos Ezpeleta, Aldo Drudi and the entire Gresini Racing Team led by Nadia Padovani, the liveries that will take to the track this Sunday were unveiled this afternoon.
