For the official announcement, we will probably have to wait at least next week, but it seems that an agreement is close, between the CIP team and the Italian driver Manuel Pagliani, for the latter to make his arrival in the World Championship in instead of the French pilot Enzo Boulom initially planned.
According to the Italian press, Manuel Pagliani, aged 20 (born July 16, 1996), should therefore run alongside Marco Bezzechi.
He began his career in 70cc then in MiniGP before becoming seasoned in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup during the 2013 and 2014 seasons. At the same time, the native of Camposampiero obtained his first Italian Champion title in 2014. After one season 2015 marked by 5 wild cards at the end of the Moto3 World Championship within the FIM team, to replace Matteo Ferrari next to Stefano Manzi (he had also scored 2 points in Australia).
2016 brought him a new national title riding a Moto3 developed by the Swiss company Geo Technology on which we will soon publish a report.
In 2017, it should therefore have a Mahindra MGP3O within the CIP team.
