When Enea Bastianini (Gresini Racing MotoGP™) was still riding in the Moto3™ World Championship we sat down in a tiny swimming pool in Argentina to talk about the TT Races in the Isle of Man. The teenager was fascinated by the history of Grand Prix racing and on Sunday he became part of that history in such an emotional evening not only for the Gresini team but the complete MotoGP™ Paddock. Who would have ever dreamed of floodlit Grand Prix races 74 years ago?. In a similar style to Bastianini, who won the 2020 Moto2™ World title, both moved into MotoGP™. Elias brought the team success in the 2006 Portuguese Grand Prix, while the likes of Marco Melandri and Sete Gibernau won MotoGP™ races for the team but never the World Championship.
