And among them, the Gresini team counted a lot.

Enea was in her house, with really beautiful people » he commented on Motoracing. " When you go to a factory team, you've achieved your goal, you can't wait to get started. In the Valencia test we could see that he was excited, he always dreamed of the Ducati factory, he got there thanks to him winning four GPs. Now he has to beat a world champion who is his teammate. He can run for the title, but that doesn't mean winning it for sure ". See you now in 2023.
