According to Alessandro Zaccone, who are " It will definitely be an interesting and completely new challenge for me. I am very happy about this opportunity and also to join an institution like Team Gresini – which has been a dream since I was a young driver. I will give 200% to thank Fausto for his trust and I expect a good season. »
To Fausto Gresini, who are " Alessandro is a young Italian hopeful and he is exactly the type of driver we were looking for. I have always said that the MotoE project should be a project for young riders and so I am happy to give this opportunity to a rider who we have deemed mature enough to step onto the world stage – after doing so well in the category CEV Moto2 this year. We would like to confirm at the top in 2020 and we will try to do even better than in 2019."
