A Champion’s Spirit: Misano’s Thrilling Triumph

At Italjet, the pursuit of excellence is in our DNA. From our early days in motorsport to our continued involvement in top-tier racing, we’ve always believed in pushing the boundaries of performance and innovation. This weekend at Misano was no different. We were thrilled to watch Team Gresini, a team we proudly sponsor, deliver an unforgettable race. Marc Marquez’s incredible victory from ninth on the grid, combined with Alex Marquez’s determined finish, reminded us all why motorsport is the ultimate test of both machine and human spirit.



Marc Marquez: A Masterclass in Racing
Misano saw one of the most dramatic performances of the season, as Marc Marquez put on a display that left fans in awe. From navigating unpredictable weather to executing perfectly timed decisions, Marc proved once again why he’s one of the best on the track.

"Those rain drops helped a lot… Maybe Fausto looked down and gave us a helping hand. I thought I had nothing to lose and gave it all. Honestly, I would have never got back to the pits to change the bike, and surely not that soon. Had it rained for a couple of more laps then maybe… but I chose to follow the instincts of the home riders who stayed out. I can’t say if it’s an open championship again, but we want to continue looking for consistency."

At Italjet, we understand that racing is about seizing opportunities when they arise. Just as Marc trusted his instincts, we’ve always trusted our engineers and designers to innovate and lead the way, from the track to the street.

Alex Marquez: A Battle of Endurance
Scorching heat and fatigue tested every rider at Misano, and Alex Marquez stood his ground, battling not just competitors but the limits of physical endurance. His sixth-place finish was a testament to the perseverance that defines great athletes.



6th – ALEX MARQUEZ #73
"It was a very tough race physically speaking, and I took a hit. We brought home a good result, but towards the end, I was really at my limit. The good thing is that we feel good, and I’d like to congratulate my brother. Tomorrow we’ll be back on track to work on the next event, again taking place here."

At Italjet, we value resilience, a quality shared with riders like Alex Marquez. Just as the race continues, so does our journey to refine, enhance, and innovate—whether in the design of our Dragster scooters or in motorsport.

Italjet: A Legacy of Motorsport Excellence
For over a century, Italjet has been more than a brand—we’ve been a force in motorsport. Since the 1900s, our passion for racing has fueled not just our sponsorships but our active participation in the sport. Whether it's been developing cutting-edge machines or sponsoring racing teams that share our hunger for success, Italjet’s history is steeped in motorsport glory. The same ambition that drives the Marquez brothers today has driven us to lead in design, technology, and performance on the world stage.

 


We are proud to stand alongside Team Gresini, knowing that our legacy is intertwined with the champions of today and tomorrow. As this season continues to unfold, we look forward to more thrilling moments and victories—both on the track and beyond.
