Unibat will therefore accompany the journey of Alex Marquéz and Fabio Di Giannantonio by gaining visibility on their leathers, on the front fairings of the #73 and #49 Desmosedici machines and on the Team Gresini Racing MotoGP uniforms.

The three-day test at the Sepang International Circuit, the first of 2023, was a successful one for Team Gresini MotoGP. Alex Marquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio were able to continue – but more likely begin – the on-track work aboard the Desmosedici GP22 machines they first tried for a few laps more than three months ago at Valencia.
Despite a not-too-productive day two due to adverse weather, in which the riders #49 and #73 were still able to try their Ducati motorcycles in wet conditions, the final day allowed both riders to work on set-up and electronics, with an eye on engine braking.
With the crates ready for the return to Europe, the following test will take place at Portimao on March 10-11 with the final test of the 2023 preseason.
7th - FABIO DI GIANNANTONIO #49 (Best lap overall - 1’58.344s)
“The step forward compared to last year is there and it is quite noticeable. The bike is less on the limit compared to the previous version and there is bigger margin for improvement, especially on corner exit where you can work to perfect the traction side of things. We worked well with the team and we focused on the race pace: not only to prepare for the race itself but also to understand how the bike behaves and how I behave with used tyres. We’re still haven’t hit our full potential, but it was a good start nonetheless.”
9th - ALEX MARQUEZ #73 (Best lap overall - 1’58.385s)
“We working quite a lot on the bike and the set-up and we also did a time attack. It was important to understand which direction to take set-up wise especially considering my riding style: we’re still missing something, but generally speaking it was a very productive and constructive day. We understood a lot in these three days and at Portimao we’ll try to fine-tune some details in order to be ready for the first race.”

Fresh challenges await Gresini Racing and Oli this year, as the two companies shake hands once again for a 2023 season that promises to be an interesting one, thanks also to a new line-up with still undiscovered potential.

“The partnership with Oli is based on a strong spirit of cooperation and this is surely thanks to a deep commonality of values which created between the two companies. A half decade in which we witness plenty of exciting moment, such as last year for example, but also some challenging ones that still saw OLI and Gresini Racing tight together, with an eye towards the future and fully focused on the goals to achieve.
