The passion for motorcycle speed never fades, Jacques Bolle is the perfect example. After having been President of the French Motorcycling Federation for 12 years, the winner of the British Grand Prix 250cc in 1983 continued to invest fully in competition. This is how he decided to support a promising Grand Prix driver: the Frenchman Lorenzo Fellon.
A keen observer, Jacques Bolle has followed the young 18-year-old Frenchman since his first laps. This is why, confident in its potential, he decided to support it in 2023 via the network of ON AIR fitness centers that he created. In less than 4 years, despite the pandemic, the ON AIR group, chaired by Jacques Bolle, has established itself as the brand that is rising within fitness centers in France thanks to its unique concept focused on music and design. At the start of 2023, ON AIR opened a 28th club in Toulon.
Jacques Bolle would like to put Lorenzo Fellon in the best possible condition for the upcoming campaign. The rider begins his third season in the Moto3 world championship, now with the French team CIP – Green Power led by Alain Bronec. His teammate will be the Spaniard david savior. Thanks to this partnership, Lorenzo Fellon has all the cards in hand to achieve ambitious goals at the highest level.
The voice of the partners:
Jacques Bolle, President of the ON AIR Fitness group: “ Supporting Lorenzo is obvious to me. I see in him a lot of qualities to succeed in the extremely competitive Grand Prix environment. There are only three French people in the World Championship, with fabio quartararo et Johann zarco, and Lorenzo is the youngest. He therefore embodies the French future in MotoGP. I am convinced that the ON AIR group will be able to help him in his quest for success in the Grand Prix. »

What does Jacques Bolle’s support mean to you?
« I am very happy to be helped by Mr. Bolle because he is a great figure in French motorcycling. It's great that he's helping a young guy like me, a Frenchman in a French team. In addition, physical training is very important for a pilot. This partnership with On Air, which has superb facilities, therefore makes sense and is a great asset for my preparation. It’s also a great image for French motorcycling, especially since this year looks very promising for us. »
Are you approaching this new season with confidence?
« Yes, because I worked a lot this winter. I pushed my limits in all areas: physical preparation, mental and motorcycle training. I left nothing to chance and I am very proud of it. It gave me confidence and motivation. The CIP team is also very motivated. I now look forward to showing my potential on the track and winning grand prix. My goal is to bring the On Air colors as high as possible in the world championship. »

How do you welcome Jacques Bolle's support for your driver Lorenzo Fellon?
« It's very interesting that Jacques Bolle, the former president of the French Motorcycling Federation, continues to help Lorenzo. He's a Frenchman, in a French team, the image is strong. We are therefore very happy to welcome a new sponsor for Lorenzo. This collaboration with On Air is not trivial, we are linked by sport. »
Was recruiting Lorenzo Fellon obvious to you?
« Yes, because he is in a good dynamic. He started to get good results last year and I think changing bike manufacturer, now riding a KTM, will help him improve. We are also neighbors in France, which allows us to work efficiently. Everything is in place for him to show what he can do this season. »
Does this Franco-French collaboration strengthen the CIP?
« This puts us in the spotlight in France, that’s clear. Lorenzo has a lot of fans. There will be a lot of anticipation this season, especially at the French Grand Prix, of course, with only three French drivers in the championship. For us, it's interesting to be there with Lorenzo and On Air. »
