After we saw no fewer than five riders step up to MotoGP™ in 2022,  we’ll only have Augusto Fernandez (GASGAS Factory Racing Tech3) stepping up to the premier class this season with the Moto2™ crown tucked tightly under his arm. Therefore, many eyes will be on the performance of the three rookies from last year that still remain: Marco Bezzecchi (Mooney VR46 Racing Team), Fabio Di Giannantonio (Gresini Racing MotoGP™) and Raul Fernandez (Cryptodata Aprilia RNF MotoGP™ Team). But as the Italian himself admitted at their team launch in January, where he outlined the clear intention of “I want a lot more than last year”, 2023 is a huge year. “I want much more than last year” – Di Giannantonio 23/01/2023. The first track action of the season sees factory test riders and our 2023 rookie head out for three days of Shakedown Testing.
