1. CIAO FAUSTO ❤️

   Posted on 10:00am Tuesday 23rd Feb 2021

   The news we would have never wanted to give, and that unfortunately we are forced to share with all of you. After nearly two months battling against Covid, Fausto Gresini has sadly passed away, few days after turning 60.   
   
   All of Gresini Racing are close to Fausto’s family in support: his wife Nadia and the four children Lorenzo, Luca, Alice and Agnese... as well as everyone who had the chance to get to know him and love him throughout the years.

2. Gresini Racing's 2021 Moto3 and Moto2 projects unveiled

   Posted on 12:00pm Wednesday 17th Feb 2021

   It was presented today – for the first time streamed live – the new Gresini Racing projects for Moto2 and Moto3. A surely unusual one, as it was missing its key piece: Fausto Gresini, who is still tackling a long recovery in hospital (started at the end of 2020) due to Covid-19.

   While his presence was surely missed, this did not stop Team Gresini from continuing preparations for the Team Principal’s two most-dear projects. Two very different projects, but with a common denominator in the Italian-Indonesian flag for both classes – thanks to the partnerships with MP1 and Federal Oil.

   The newly born Indonesian Racing Team Gresini Moto3 surely took over the scene with a radical change both in colours and graphics. A new red-and-black colour combination that will surely stand out on the quarter-litre class grid and two fast and experienced riders, ready to get in the mix at the sharp end of the field – of one of the most competitive classes on two-wheels.

   Both Jeremy Alcoba and Gabriel Rodrigo have been training over the winter: the 2020 Rookie of the Year, who claimed his maiden world championship podium last year, is eager to consolidate his performance and growth while gravitating around the top-three, while the Argentine will try to turn his fortunes around – with the Moto3 that has to be a realistic goal for him.

   Slow but continuous improvements on the state of health of Fausto Gresini, always hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the Maggiore Carlo Alberto Pizzardi hospital in Bologna.
    
   Here is today’s s statement by Dr Nicola Cilloni: “Fausto's clinical condition slowly continues to improve. For more than a week now without fever, rehabilitation is making progress every day, even if the path ahead is still long. He is still helped by the breathing machine, but he is also working on it, trying to recover the strength to do it alone. He manages to make video calls and to be seen by Nadia. The next steps will be the functional recovery of breathing and nutrition”.

   Posted on 12:00pm Monday 25th Jan 2021

   Minor but comforting news on the state of health of Fausto Gresini, who has been hospitalized for over three weeks at the Maggiore Carlo Alberto Pizzardi hospital in Bologna.
    
   Doctor Nicola Cilloni: “Fausto Gresini's general clinical conditions are fragile, but slowly and progressively improving.He is conscious and combative. Radiological and laboratory tests also go in the same direction. He still needs to be supported by the mechanical ventilator, but blood oxygenation is progressively improving. He started physiotherapy to rehabilitate both breathing and muscles. He remains in critical and fragile condition with a long path of treatment, but the direction taken in recent days makes the prognosis, still reserved, more optimistic.

5. UPDATE ON FAUSTO GRESINI’S CONDITIONS

   Fausto Gresini’s conditions remain serious, as the former motorcycle world champion is still  in the intensive care unit of the Maggiore Carlo Alberto Pizzardi hospital in Bologna. 
   
   Here is today’s s statement by Dr Nicola Cilloni: “Fausto's general conditions are unfortunately still serious. The lungs hit hard by the disease and by an overlapping infection are able to give oxygen to the blood only and aided by the mechanical ventilation machine. It is still necessary to keep Fausto asleep almost always to allow the mechanical fan to work properly. When he is periodically awakened, he is conscious and combative”.
