Renamed Go and Fun Honda Gresini to reflect the new deal, the team's two bikes are set to adopt a mostly black and green livery for 2013.
“I am proud to be able to announce our main sponsor for the next three seasons,” said Fausto Gresini. “Bruno Bollini is a guy with great passion for sport and he has the same approach to life and business as myself so I think we can create something special together.
“We are sure Go & Fun Green Energy can give our team a natural boost in the future. We are on the verge of an exciting new era in
MotoGP and Moto3 so to have such a major new partner believing in our team is extremely important for us.”
“It is a source of great personal and professional pride to start this partnership with Team Honda Gresini,” added Go & Fun's Bruno Bollini. “The project, which we have been working on with determination, is part of a plan to develop Erba Vita's presence the in the world of sport.
