  1. Are you looking for stickers for your bike? Or do you have a design and want to know which type of sticker is best for you?

    We are here to help you get the best stickers for your bike. They'll withstand the scratching, water & anything else you throw at them.

    We'll talk about materials that work and throw in a few ideas we've found to inspire you to get the best custom stickers.

    Let's get stuck in.

    Firstly, which materials will work for you?

    When looking at custom stickers for your bike, you need the following:

    • Plastic stickers with a medium-strength adhesive; this will ensure they stick to the paint, chromed or other similar material found on your bike. The medium-strength adhesive will not peel away paint when removing the sticker.

    • Laminated stickers that protect the printed layer. A laminate is a transparent, plastic film that can have a gloss or matte finish. It will protect the ink from scratches, scuffs, fading in the sunlight and any chemicals the sticker may come into contact with when cleaning.

    Here is a breakdown of how a sticker it made so that you can see each layer:

    1. A clear gloss laminate protects from sunlight, scratching & water.

    2. Printed in full-colour using the latest technology with incredible detail.

    3. You can choose a coloured material to create your desired result.

    4. A medium-strength adhesive is perfect for your bike.

    5. The thick backing keeps your sticker flat and makes them easy to peel.

    These die-cut stickers will all work. They are all laminated with a clear, gloss over-laminate. They also all have a medium-strength adhesive. You can also choose from a few different colours to create incredible effects. Die-cutting simply means they're cut to any custom shape you want.

    Now you know which type of sticker will work, here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing.

    2. This sticker could go on your bike or inside your car window. Get it as a transfer sticker or a front-adhesive sticker for the best effect.

  2. GRESINI RACING: FROM 2022, THE MOTOGP PROJECT IS REALITY

    As a pleasant confirmation for an institution as solid as historical within MotoGP, from 2022 Gresini Racing will be again in the premier class as Independent team.

    The team led by Fausto Gresini, which is already present across all categories of the MotoGP World Championship, is back to its natural spot and will be relying on its own support only. A five-year agreement was signed between Gresini Racing and IRTA (2022-2026), a further proof of the commitment by the Faenza-based team.

    Gresini Racing has been present in the premier class since 1997 and therefore is among the longest-lasting teams and one with a very solid tally: 41 podiums, 14 wins and three runner-up spots in the category.

    FAUSTO GRESINI – TEAM MANAGER GRESINI RACING

    “We’re happy to announce this agreement with IRTA, which will see us in MotoGP for five years starting from 2022. We will not be representing Aprilia as a factory team anymore, so we will continue as an Independent Team, doing so with as much will and commitment. There’s a lot of work to do and many things to define and communicate. Obviously we’re already working on this huge project, and we will reveal the details little by little. Stay tuned!”

  3. TEAM GRESINI MOTOE: FERRARI CONFIRMED AS MANTOVANI JOINS THE SQUAD

    The new ‘electric’ line-up of Team Gresini has been confirmed, as the Italian squad places their hopes once again on young Italian riders. The new season will resume from the confirmation of Matteo Ferrari: the 2019 World Champion and 2020 series runner-up will be at the starting blocks of the new season, with the goal to remain at the sharp end of the series and try to reclaim the MotoE crown.
     
    Andrea Mantovani will be at Ferrari’s side. The 26-year-old from Ferrara lands in MotoE from the Italian Championship of Speed (CIV) – Superbike category – and he will test his skills for the first time with the Energica Ego Corsa machine. He will race with the number 9. 
     
    The first test of 2021 will take palce at the Angel Nieto Circuit of Jerez de la Frontera (which will host the season opener) in March. Two sessions of three days each – one from the 2nd to the 4th and the second one from the 29th to the 31st of the same month. 
  4. A year that was in many was an unforgettable one drew to a close, one which among the most – if not the most – difficult for the MotoGP World Championship. A season that could have even been cancelled due to the global pandemic but that despite all the limitations, reached the finish line with 15 races and a lot of emotions.

    Team Gresini, an institution that is present across all the World Championship categories, has completed a challenging season in terms of sporting result, despite the great affort fromall parties involved: a sincere thank you goes to FIM, DORNA SPORTS, IRTA and MSMA from all #GresiniFamily for organising to perfection this racing season despite the countless number of challenges brought by the virus. An incredible organisational work which must be highlighted and plauded.

    The wish we would like to send to everybody is for a serene off-season and to see each other again trackside. Together everything is possible.

    FAUSTO GRESINI – TEAM MANAGER GRESINI RACING

    “It seemed almost impossible last March/April to even begin a MotoGP season, and now we can say we did it. 15 races and in full safety, really incredible. It’s been a huge effort from everybody, so as Gresini family I would like to personally thank the FIM, Dorna Sports, IRTA and MSMA to take to the finish line a championship in an excellent way, with a commendable work of containing the virus which allowed us to do what we like to the most with dedication and passion. It’s been a very difficult 2020 that we were able to go through together and I cannot wait to be back on track, while hoping that we can see grandstands full of fans and the paddock filled with people.”

  5. Schenk Italian Wineries, an extremely important Italian wine institution, is betting again on Team Gresini and in 2021 it will be official sponsor of the team’s Moto2 and Moto3 efforts.

    Already a Team Gresini partner since 2017, Schenk Italian Wineries will be present with one of its top-tier brands Bacio della Luna (Prosecco and Spumante wines) and it will further increase its visibility.

    In Moto3 it will be visible on the chest area of Gabriel Rodrigo and Jeremy Alcoba’s leathers, as well as on the team uniforms, team trucks, hospitality and pit-box panels.
    in Moto2, Schenk will reunite with Fabio Di Giannantonio and its logo will be present on the Kalex machines #21 and #11 (on both sides of the front fairing), on the sleeves of the rider leathers, on the team uniforms, team trucks and pit-box panels.
