Pablo Nieto, Team Manager: “We are very proud to announce that in 2017 we will have 4 young Italian talents on the track. We will continue in Moto3 with two KTM machines, and we will redouble our efforts – in the intermediate category of the world championship. The line up of the Moto2 team will be completed later, but we are happy to have Francesco Bagnaia back with us once again. After the interruption of the relationship between the team and Romano Fenati, we have decided to continue with our initial project of two Moto2 machines in the intermediate class. We will take a few weeks to decide who will join Bagnaia in this new challenge. We’re motivated to accompany ‘Pecco’ in this change of category and will put all of our commitment and professionalism into the project.”
