YUSAK KRISTIAN (Astra Otoparts Director)
“Having a huge population of bikers, Indonesia can count on a really big MotoGP audience. The energy and the excitement that the fans share while watching the races is enormous: therefore, ahead of the 2016 season we decided to extend the partnership with Gresini Racing for the fourth consecutive year. Along with the new rider Sam Lowes we are confident that the team will be able to deliver a strong performance during the year, and thus strengthen its position as Indonesians’ favorite team in the Moto2 World Championship. We believe that the collaboration between Astra Otoparts and Gresini Racing will continue to bring a significant positive impact to the ASPIRA brand as Official Sponsor of the team”.
FAUSTO GRESINI
“Indonesian Company Astra Otoparts is an extremely important partner for us, so it’s a great pleasure to be able to give continuity to our collaboration in the Moto2 World Championship, started back in 2013. Thanks to ASPIRA’s valuable support, in the last three seasons we have been able to embark on a positive growth path, reaching the victory in last July’s German Grand Prix. Our goals for the upcoming campaign are therefore even more ambitious: we have a good team, a competitive technical package and we can count on a very fast rider, so hopefully we can repay the great confidence that the Astra Otoparts group is putting on us. It would be great to be absolute protagonists, waiting for the future Indonesian MotoGP round which is likely to take place in 2017”.
