One weekend off to recharge body and soul and it is already time for the last ride of the season with Malaysia, Qatar and the season finale at Valencia as the upcoming events for Team Gresini MotoGP.
The Faenza-based squad is living a positive moment as the last outings brought good results and points with both riders: Fabio Di Giannantonio more and more consistent with two parc fermé trips in the last three races (best-placed independent rider in Indonesia and third-placed overall in Australia), while Alex Marquez is finally back to full fitness and ready for the final charge for 2023.
The world championship top ten is currently 27 points away, meaning it is a difficult but not impossible challenge considering the 111 points still up for grabs between full and sprint races.

#73 ALEX MARQUEZ (11th in the championship standings with 117 points)
“Australia and Thailand have been two very positive weekends considering the injury I suffered in India. In the preseason test at Sepang we made some adjustments to the setup that helped me: we know we are fast and despite knowing we still have some more fine-tuning to do, to be back at full fitness in Malaysia is already a big thing. The season must be wrapped up with a sweet taste in the mouth, so we’ll also need consistency in terms of results in Qatar and Valencia.”
#49 FABIO DI GIANNANTONIO (12th in the championship standings with 93 points)
“We’re surely have been on food form lately, both with regards to results and feeling with the bike. The growth has been consistent, and I see no reason why we should stop now. We still have three rounds left at venues I like, despite being very different from each other. We’ll keep our heads down to wrap up a positive season on a high note.”
