After presentation of his MotoGP team with Enea Bastianini and Fabio Di Giannantonio, the Gresini Racing team today unveils its Moto2 riders, Alessandro Zaccone and Filip Salač.
FILIP SALAČ #12
Everything will be new for me after a difficult year in Moto3, because I was too big for this bike. This winter I trained with a bike closer to Moto2 and I can say that I feel much more comfortable. This will be a new adventure for me and I will have to gain a lot of experience, I will do everything possible to learn quickly and I will always give my best. I really miss the action on the track, but I'll have to hang on a little longer for the February tests, I'm looking forward to working with the team again, I had a lot of fun with them in the first test! In the meantime, I focus on training in the gym, I have to strengthen my muscles and adapt them to Moto2 which has a different structure. But to be honest, I love this kind of training even more!
ALESSANDRO ZACCONE #61
This will be my first year in the Moto2 World Championship, so the most important thing will be to try to learn the new circuits as quickly as possible: the first four are going to be a bit difficult for me, but I'm looking forward to it. to try ! The winter break has always been a long pain, but this year it seemed really interminable, perhaps because it was difficult to find a Moto2. It's like a dream that's about to come true, we just have to wait for the tests. In the meantime, I'm training at the gym and doing a bit of motocross and supermoto, to try to get back into full shape after my injury last year. We're almost there, so I'm confident!
LUCA GRESINI – TEAM MANAGER
I'm really happy with the 2 Moto2022 team, a young project in the hands of young riders. In fact, we chose two rookies in the world category, Zaccone had already raced in the same category but in the CEV with the Honda 600, where he showed that he could go very fast and he confirmed his talent also in 2021 with the excellent results obtained in MotoE. Filip is also a very promising guy, he has improved a lot in recent years in Moto3, although he is hampered by his size. He had some good races proving that he can compete with the leading group. With this light blue bike on the track they will definitely see us, it's a strange color that everyone will like more and more as the season goes on.
