I must say that I see that both “Diggia” and Enea are in top form and that they want to start: we aspire to be among the protagonists of the championship ” points out Nadia Padovani Gresini.

“We will soon be back on track for testing, first in Malaysia and then in Indonesia”, says “Diggia”, who being a rookie will be able to participate in the Shakedown Test which will also be held in Sepang from January 31st to February 2nd. “I can’t wait to fly this beautiful beast. The winter break is always very long and I’m counting the days and hours. The bike is spectacular, perhaps it is the most beautiful I have ever ridden and I have ever seen. With that unique main color it looks like a retro seventies motorcycle, and will certainly be very recognizable on the track. Particular, original, pretty. A unique emotion “.
