For the third consecutive year, the FELO Gresini Racing team confirms its line-up composed of Matteo Ferrari and Alessio Finello. The two Italian riders will, therefore, be at the start of the 2024 season of the MotoE World Championship in March at the Portimao circuit.
The MotoE line-up of the FELO Gresini Racing team has been confirmed for the third consecutive year, so in 2024, it will be composed of Matteo Ferrari and Alessio Finello. The Gresini team's decision came after a season of great satisfaction for Ferrari, which closed the 2023 World Championship in third place, and a year of growth for Finello.
It's a story with plenty of highs and very few lows the one featuring the rider number #11 and the team from Faenza: six years of joint work, passion and excellent results. After winning the first title of the MotoE in 2019 and having finished all subsequent championships in Top3, Matteo Ferrari and FELO Gresini Racing have extended their journey together to bring home the 2019 title. Ferrari is one of the two riders of the MotoE to have started all the races, starting from the first race of the electric MotoGP championship in 10 at the Sachsenring. In addition to a World Title, Ferrari has so far achieved ten victories and 20 podiums, as well as three pole positions.
Another familiar face will be present in the Gresini garage MotoE in 2024: Alessio Finello is also confirmed, who will aim to collect the results of the work carried out in the past two seasons in the electric class of MotoGP. Finello is full of expectations for his second year on the V21L electric Ducati.
Also in 2024, the Italian team will have as title sponsor FELO, a nascent Chinese company leader in the design and production of electric scooters among which the FW-06 and FW-03 stand out.

“Another year together, that’s SIX! I would have never imagined to reach this number, in the racing world it’s not easy to create this type of relationship, a solid, trustworthy one, so much that it continues even after so many years with the same excitement. We will try to bring home the title: this year we let it slip away, we finished third again and I'm a bit disappointed. It was still a great season, so let's start again from where we finished: fast, winning. There will be some new tracks, like Portimao which in my opinion with the electric Ducati will be phenomenal. I would like to thank Luca, Nadia, Carlo and all the people who work at Gresini, because they always make me feel at home and give me the maximum support. I hope to repay their trust with great results and to be able to continue in the future, who knows, maybe with some new adventures."

“I’m really proud to be able to continue with the team for the third consecutive year and give continuity to a project begun a few years ago: it means that I believe a lot in the team and they believe in me, and this gives me a lot of confidence. We want to achieve the goals we have set for ourselves, it's time to collect all the work done over the years. It will be an important season for us, I can't wait to get started! Three years together, the second with Ducati: we know the bike and now I also know the different circuits well, so we have the experience we need to make the step. The team deserves to have both riders in the leading positions for the work they do and the support they give us. I will do everything I can to do my part and be prepared. I thank Luca, Nadia, Carlo, Michele and all the Gresini staff for giving me one more opportunity to continue this journey together: they made me feel like home from the very first moment, they’ve become like family to me."

Luca Gresini (FELO Gresini Racing Team Manager)
“Never change a winning line-up! This is the reason why we have decided to confirm the Ferrari-Finello pairing for the third consecutive year. With Matteo we finished - for five consecutive years – in the world championship top three: after winning the very first world cup with him, for 3 we want to repeat the result and bring home the title. This will be an important year also for Alessio: after his constant growth, the third year together will be the decisive one to make the most of the experience gathered in the previous two seasons. We can't wait to get started!”
