Gresini Racing

Gresini Racing is a motorcycle racing team competing in the MotoGP World Championship under the name Gresini Racing MotoGP as a Ducati satellite team, in the Moto2 World Championship as Italjet Gresini Racing Moto2, and the MotoE World Championship as Felo Gresini MotoE. The team also competes in CEV Moto2 (2019) and CEV Moto3 (2020).

Fausto Gresini founded the team in 1997 with Fabrizio Cecchini as the technical director.

The team competed in the 500 cc class with Brazilian rider Alex Barros and a Honda NSR500V two-cylinder bike.

Barros ranked ninth in the final championship standings, and managed to record the team's first podium finish at Donington Park.

The following year, Honda decided to supply Barros and the team with a Honda NSR500 four-cylinder bike, the same bike that was used by the factory team.

Barros recorded two podium finishes and a series of top-five finishes to collect 138 points and fifth place in the final standings.

In 1999, the team dropped down to the 250 cc class with a factory-supported Honda NSR250 and with reigning 250cc world champion Loris Capirossi as the rider.

In the first race of the season at Sepang, Malaysia, Capirossi took the first ever win for the Gresini team. During the season, he earned two more wins and six other podium finishes, and finished the season third in the final standings with 209 points.
