Fausto Gresini’s wife, Nadia Padovani, is the new managing director of Gresini Racing. Nadia takes over Fausto in every respect and acquires the title of Team Owner and Team Principal. But that’s not all that’s new, because his sons Lorenzo and Luca also take on tasks in the company, the former mainly working in administration and the latter with a more sporting role, and he will already be present on the circuit in Jerez to follow the team. With the whole family on board to offer continuity to the company, Fausto’s dream of returning to MotoGP as an independent team will come true from 2022, as was already foreseen in the contract with Dorna at the end of last season.
“I like to think so Both of Fausto’s families, ours and Racing’s, have come together to implement everything he planned and especially the MotoGP project, ”said Nadia Padovani. “To have a team in the top category again as an independent team is undoubtedly something very challenging, with a team that can be created from scratch, but I know that everyone in the company gives one hundred percent to make their dream come true. Personally, I see it as a real mission, a challenge that we will face also and above all thanks to Fausto, who is watching us from up there. We are currently in talks with various manufacturers and will be communicating details about our MotoGP project in a few weeks. “
