Following over 70 young people is a job that requires a lot of commitment but which pays off when we see the growth of the young people from a professional point of view and when, consequently, the results arrive. This is a project also made possible by the common purpose with Pata Snack, which is why I thank Remo Gobbi who shares the values ​​of healthy motorcycling with us and believes in our initiatives”.

It is a constant work that sees the Technical Directors and FMI Technicians as reference figures and that rewards us both with the results and with the recognition, by many established champions, of the quality of our activities. In 2023 we will continue on the path traced in past years, without neglecting the updating of methodologies and contents of the technical management, with the aim of making the boys mature from all points of view to continue to give new life to Italian motorcycling ” .
