MotoGP will start its new 2022 season in March, and will be released by each team before the start of the race, the model, sponsors, color schemes and drivers hired this year. In the 2021 race, although the drivers of the DUCATI camp did not win the driver of the year championship, DUCATI showed its dominance of the race in the main factory team or the satellite team, and expanded the number of cars on the field this year to 8 cars, showing its determination to dominate MotoGP. One team that could easily be mistaken for a raw face joined was the "Gresini Racing MotoGP" team.
The DUCATI faction added two more vehicles to join the Gresini Racing MotoGP team.
Speaking of the "Gresini Racing MotoGP" team, last year was also the year when the Gresini team experienced the most twists and turns, in addition to the unfortunate death of the original founder Fausto Gresini, which put the Gresini team into a crisis of survival, the team also decided to end a 7-year partnership with APRILIA RS-GP and return to the role of an independent team with DUCATI. Under the agreement between Gresini and DUCATI, Gresini used the GP21 model and was contested by drivers Enea Bastianini and Fabio Di Giannantonio.

The gresini team's two GP21 racing cars were painted by Aldo Drudi, the designer who had designed several helmets for Valentini Rossi, using light blue and DUCATI classic red as the main colors, and the "THE NEXT" on the side of the car also represented that the Gresini factory team would enter a new chapter.
Led by the founder's wife, Nadia Padovani, the Gresini factory team continued to compete.
Enea Bastianini: Looking forward to fighting with new teammates!
For Bastianini, the DUCATI is also a chariot he is all too familiar with, he also said: "The first time he saw the appearance of the new car, he thought it was a little strange, but when he saw the scene, he felt fantastic, and he was very much looking forward to returning to his DUCATI. And he also met his team in the first test, he also thinks he has a super team, and he is looking forward to taking good results with the team!" 」
Fabio Di Giannantonio: Jump to MotoGP, learn more than just learn!
Compared to Bastianini, this is Fabio's first season from Moto2 to MotoGP, Fabio has won one win and four podiums at Moto2, and finished with the 7th place of the year, and there will only be more challenges waiting for him, he also mentioned: "He will have a lot to learn, he will grow with a learning mentality."
