DEL CONCA has reached an agreement with Gresini Racing to become Main Sponsor of the Gresini Racing Team Moto3 and Official Sponsor of the Team Federal Oil Gresini Moto2 for the 2016 World Championship. The signing of the sponsorship agreement, which took place today at the headquarters of Del Conca Ceramica SpA, in San Clemente di Rimini, was attended by the CEO Enzo Donald Mularoni, Team Principal Fausto Gresini, Gresini Racing Team Moto3 riders Enea Bastianini and Fabio Di Giannantonio, and Team Federal Oil Gresini Moto2 rider Sam Lowes.
With this agreement, the bikes, the riders’ leathers, the uniforms, the trucks, the hospitality area and the boxes of the Moto3 team will be in DEL CONCA colors for the whole 2016 campaign. The riders Bastianini and Di Giannantonio with their bikes will also attend some of DEL CONCA main events during the year, in particular the opening of the new showroom in Forlì, in springtime, and the Cersaie fair scheduled for September in Bologna.
“Through the partnership with Gresini Racing,” said Enzo Donald Mularoni, “DEL CONCA intends to continue its efforts to promote its image, also giving its contribution to the sport and providing our young riders with the necessary support for their careers, like it has already been done in the past with Manuel Poggiali, with whom we won two World Championship titles. This new collaboration also represents well our close relationship with the territory and the surrounding reality”.
“Furthermore,” continued Enzo Mularoni, “we are particularly pleased to be again aboard Sam Lowes’ bike, in the Team Federal Oil Gresini Moto2, because we think that Sam has a really unconventional and particularly spectacular riding style. We also expect great results from him”.
“This new partnership is really exciting,” said Fausto Gresini. “DEL CONCA has been actively involved in the sport for years and it’s a great pride for us to collaborate with them. It’s also very nice that two entities deeply linked to the territory have met and have decided to join forces to achieve great results. We believe that we have set two very strong and competitive projects, so we prepare for the 2016 season with great ambitions, both in Moto3, with Bastianini and Di Giannantonio, both in Moto2, where we will have Sam Lowes, a rider that DEL CONCA already had the possibility to know in the past and who strongly wanted to continue to support in its growth path”.
“With Gresini Racing Team, and in general with the whole world of racing,” added Mularoni, “we share the focus on innovation, the attention to details and the continuous research of an higher technological value for our products. Moreover, all companies of the Del Conca Group acts responsibly through the best environmental technology available globally, recycling 100% of the water used in the process, dust and production waste”.
After signing the agreement, Enzo Mularoni accompanied Fausto Gresini and the riders for a visit inside the factory in San Clemente: “The visit to the headquarters of Del Conca Ceramica SpA was very interesting,” concluded Gresini. “We discovered the world of ceramic production and seen the most advanced systems used by Del Conca. We also met many fans of the sport and it’s really nice to experience so much excitement in a partner company. Thanks to Enzo Mularoni and all the company DEL CONCA for the confidence they put on us”.
