In the year of its 70th anniversary, OLI, a leading company in Southern Europe in the production of flush cisterns and components for the sanitary industry, with a presence in more than 80 countries around the world, confirms its commitment in the premier class alongside Gresini Racing MotoGP, and will be at the starting blocks with Marc and Alex Márquez.
After five successful seasons, OLI will be present on the riders’ leathers as well as on the Desmosedici machines, but also on the team pit-box panels, trucks and uniforms – increasing its global visibility in the process.
Proceedings will get underway on the March 8-10 weekend in Qatar, followed closely by Portugal for what will be the first European Grand Prix at the `Autódromo Internacional do Algarve’ (March 22-24)
ANTONIO RICARDO OLIVEIRA – OLI MEMBER OF THE BOARD
"We're entering our sixth season in MotoGP and are excited about the signing of Marc Márquez, an eight-time world champion, who has raised the expectations of good results on the track. It's a winning bet for Gresini Racing, which further reinforces the values of persistence and courage by doing what seemed impossible, but also family values by bringing the two Márquez brothers together in the same team. These are values that OLI and Gresini share and that define our collaboration. This is a different year for OLI, which is celebrating its 70th anniversary, and being able to offer our partners the experience in the paddock will be even more special”.
CARLO MERLINI – GRESINI RACING COMMERCIAL AND MARKETING DIRECTOR
“I can’t think of a better way to celebrate together the 70th anniversary of this great institution named OLI. First of all I would like to thank Federica Niboli and Antonio Oliveira for the trust placed in our projects; we will start our six year together and it’s going to be a special year for us, too. The arrival of Marc and the confirmation of Alex after an excellent debut season with Ducati give us great hope for the upcoming season.”

THE ITALIAN PROTOTYPE SHOWED ENCOURAGING SIGNS, BUT IMPROVEMENT IS EXPECTED
The work of the Aprilia Racing department during the winter has been relentless, and in the first 2024 test in Malaysia the results were seen. The new RS-GP amazed, especially with a once again innovative aerodynamic study.
After the shakedown completed by test rider Lorenzo Savadori, Aleix and Maverick had the chance to start working on the new bike during the three days just concluded. A first contact that still showed encouraging signs: there is still to adapt the characteristics of the bike to the style of each rider, but the potential was judged unanimously high.
Now MotoGP will move to Qatar for the last test session, scheduled for February 19 and 20, before officially starting (on the same track) the new season.
ALEIX ESPARGARO'
"I am satisfied with this first test. If we look at the improvement from last year, I don't think anyone has grown as much as we have. I love the character of the new RS-GP, it allows me to be even faster in cornering and that goes along with my riding style. It is also more stable, albeit a bit more challenging, but there is still a lot of work to be done. We've seen very fast riders and bikes, with incredible fast lap performance as well as great pace: we're at a good level but it's still not enough."
MAVERICK VIÑALES
"It was an intense three days, but I would like three more! The new RS-GP definitely has potential, in Aprilia they worked a lot during the winter. At the end of last year I had reached a very high level, especially in corner entry, a feeling that I lack for now. It's just a matter of trying new settings, a different balance, to exploit the strengths of the new design as we did in '23. We still have testing in Qatar to get us ready for the first race, right now I would say we are halfway through the process."
