The presentation of the Italian structure, which took place from the Rossini Theater in Pesaro, and which did not lack music with a live orchestra, was attended by Valentino, the team leaders, Uccio Salucchi and Alberto Tebaldi, as well as the pair of riders in charge of driving the Ducati GP22, Luca Marini, and GP21, the rookie Marco Bezzecchi, together with the team manager, also a rookie in the premier class, the Spaniard Pablo Nieto .

On the aesthetic level, the new team’s riders’ monocycles are completely black with details in yellow and orange, the latter related to the sponsor, the Italian financial entity Mooney.

On motorcycles, the color black also predominates, but with a considerable presence of yellow and orange, with a prominent space for the main sponsor, as well as for the American lubricant manufacturer Bardahl, the Spanish car manufacturer Cupra and the energy drink brand Monster, which also sponsors the pilots’ cap.

During the event, the structure with which the Tavullia-based team will compete this year in the Moto2 World Championship was also presented, a team led by Luca Brivio , son of Davide Brivio , as team manager with the riders Celestino Vietti , who will be remains in the intermediate category, and Niccolò Antonelli , who is promoted from Moto3.
