SAN CARLO HONDA GRESINI MOTOGP

“Another season is about to start and our motivation is as high as ever. A season that is sure to bring strong emotions and excitement is about to start and we are looking forward to sharing it all with Honda and our riders”

“It will be a fantastic 2011 during which we will continue our work with Marco Simoncelli in MotoGP, building on the excellent results “Super Sic” managed towards the end of last season. Marco has improved a lot, he is a factory HRC rider now and Honda have shown the trust in us that we will respond to by doing our part to be racing amongst the best. He has already made headlines in the preseason tests and I am sure he will pay back Honda for their belief  in him and in Team San Carlo Honda Gresini. Simoncelli is a top person as well as a top rider and he creates a good synergy within the team environment. For Marco the podium will be his objective, an objective he will approach with his usual discipline and intelligence.”

“I also have great confidence in Aoyama, who already showed in preseason testing that he is settling in well to Team San Carlo Honda Gresini. Aoyama certainly has the quality and I am sure that alongside us he will find the motivation to make up for lost time last season and begin to fight with the guys at the front. He has already established a good relationship with all the guys at Team San Carlo Honda Gresini and they are all keen to help make him a consistent frontrunner in MotoGP.”

“The experience and professionalism of all the guys in the team will once again be at the disposal of our riders. Simoncelli will be using it to try and pick up his first major results of his MotoGP career and Aoyama will look to establish himself in the premier class. Our technicians and the entire organisation are prepared to give them technical guarantees as well as that most crucial factor that cannot be measured: passion.  It gives me a lot of pride to say that everything is in place for Team San Carlo Honda Gresini to achieve sporting success in 2011.”
