Gresini Racing made its debut in the championship in 1997 at the hands of Honda and with Alex Barros as driver. After two years in 500cc with the Brazilian, they took a step back to 250cc to rise again in 2002, already to MotoGP, at the hands of quarter-litre world champion Daijiro Katoh.
Since then it has always been in the top category, until 2014 together with the brand with the golden wing and since 2015 giving shelter to the official Aprilia team in MotoGP. But 2021 was the last with Noale’s and from then on a new stage for the formation opens.
In the more than two decades in the heavy motorcycle category, Gresini Racing has achieved 14 victories and 3 runner -up finishes in the world with Sete Gibernau and Marco Melandri.
However, Gresini has also gone through two of the bitterest drinks in the history of the World Cup with the death of Katoh in 2003 and Marco Simoncelli in 2011. And, of course, the death of Fausto himself, a victim of COVID-19 .
