Chinese carburetor and fuel injection manufacturer YOUALL is the youngest company to join the project where young Italians Enea Bastianini and Fabio di Giannantonio will drive the GP21-based Desmosedicis.
“We’ve had a partnership with YOUALL for four years on our Moto3 project, and when the move to the premier class became available, they were among the first to take it on,” said Carlo Merlini, Commercial and Marketing Director of Gresini Racing.
