With Marc Márquez in their ranks, Gresini may have more ambition than ever in MotoGP. However, they are also realistic and well aware of the current level of the field, so Nadia Padovani is cautious when setting goals.
The first round of the year is in Qatar, and for that, the team owner prefers to set the bar low: ‘We’re going to Qatar motivated to at least perform well. I’m not talking about winning because Ducati has very strong riders at the moment. But we intend to perform well – maybe in the top ten’, she said to SPEEDWEEK.com.
Padovani then aims for the top five as the season progresses, as she stated: ‘As the season progresses, if he understands step by step how to use the bike and build a better feeling each time, our goal is surely to be in the top five and maybe achieve a little more. We’ll see, but it’s still too early to talk about it at this point’.
