Gresini Racing will switch back to Honda machinery in the 2015 Moto3 World Championship, following a single season with KTM thus year.

The team’s commitment to support young Italian talents in the Moto3 World Championship will continue in the 2015 season with an all Italian line-up, composed by Enea Bastianini and Andrea Locatelli.

“I’m pleased to have defined our young riders development project for next year and to continue in the Moto3 class, which we consider essential to breed future champions,” Gresini said.

“Bastianini, great revelation of this year and our great discovery, will be again with us. With ‘Enea’ we decided to plan a long-term commitment, over two seasons. Depending on the results, we will choose in which category to participate in the 2016 season.

“Andrea Locatelli is a rider we already know from the Italia Honda Racing Project trophy and whom I respect very much. We see in him a good potential to work on, so we decided to give him this important opportunity.

“Finally, we decided together with the riders to choose Honda as a technical partner for 2015. We are obviously confident and happy to be able to count on this great manufacturer for our young riders development project.”

Despite reverting to Honda in Moto3, Gresini Racing recently confirmed it will spearhead Aprilia’s factory MotoGP return next season.
