Fausto Gresini, Team Manager: “Our program in the Moto2 World Championship together with Federal Oil continues to be a very ambitious project: in the 2017 season we will bring to the Moto2 debut one of the most talented riders expressed by Moto3, Jorge Navarro. A rider of undoubted talent, which in 2016 was still one of the great protagonists of the smaller displacement, despite some injuries have not allowed him to fully express his potential. Jorge has a great desire to do well and last November, although he was not in the best physical condition, he already wanted to try the Kalex to start getting to grips with a totally new category for him; later he had time to undergo surgery, to train a lot and recover his physical fitness; a necessary ‘set-up’ that will allow him to face in the best possible way the upcoming test in preparation for the first race in Qatar. Of course we are aware that he’s a rookie and therefore we cannot expect to be among the teams that can aspire to the fight for the World title, but I think we can grow up quickly and start in a short time to fight for important results”.
