When the experience made on the track and
rider's determination combine with intuition
and organisational skills, results are sure
to follow.
Fausto Gresini was the protagonist of the
125cc scene in the years 1984-1994, he won
two 125 world titles in 1985 and 1987 on Garelli
and finished three times second in 1986 on
Garelli, in 1991 and 1992 on a Honda.
In 1997 he decided to carry on his career
as Team Manager and his team is proud of 22
victories in the GP, one world title in the
250cc class won by Daijiro Kato in 2001 and
the vice-championship title achieved by Sete
Gibernau in the MotoGP last year.
Today the team run by Gresini includes more
than 30 people, divided among Faenza - headquarter
of the administration, legal and marketing
offices - and the Racing Department, in San
Clemente (Rimini) near the Misano Circuit.
The Racing Department, run by Fabrizio Cecchini,
is an impressive facility of 1100 square metres
divided among a two-story warehouse, six offices
and a workshop - this is the starting and
returning point of the bikes before and after
every GP or test session. Here the Team Telefonica
MoviStar Honda MotoGP prepares the bikes for
the tests and the races.
The atmosphere of the Racing Department is
characterised by a great passion "the team
has grown up quickly in the last years, we
all share a common passion for racing and
competition. We have created a nice group,
a sort of family, an ideal atmosphere where
the riders can work undisturbed" says Fausto
Gresini, the Team Owner.
But the Team Telefonica MoviStar Honda MotoGP
is not only characterised by technical preparation
and a high quality of work, it also has a
special flair for beautiful things. This year
in fact, the Team Telefonica MoviStar Honda
MotoGP will be present at the racetracks with
a complete new Hospitality facility made of
two trucks and one support vehicle. Equipped
with air conditioning and heating, plasma
TV monitors to follow the races and a superb
buffet with typical Italian cuisine, the new
Hospitality has a surface of 200 square metres
divided among the bar area, the restaurant
and the kitchen. Moreover, there are two meeting
rooms and two office rooms to organise meetings
in a more reserved atmosphere. A staff of
five people will take care of the guests.
The new Hospitality with the colours of Telefonica
MoviStar will be a nice surprise in the paddock
of the 2004 World Championship.
