The Italian Motorcycling Federation is pleased to announce its new partnership with Gruppo Alimentare San Carlo S.p.A for the 2013 season.
The prestigious food company will be the sponsor on Team Italia’s fairings in the next Moto3 World Championship. Besides its presence on the bikes of Romano Fenati, winner in Jerez and second in Qatar last year, Francesco Bagnaia, Franco Morbidelli and Alessandro Nocco, San Carlo will also sustain the “Italian Talent” project in partnership with FMI.
Scholarships will be awarded to riders participating in CIV and pre-GP championships and further funds will help offset the participation fees in Mini-GP and Minimoto championships by 20% across the board.
This partnership stems from San Carlo and his president Alberto Vitaloni’s passion and commitment to support young athletes and true values such as friendship, loyalty, courage, and sportsmanship, which the company shares with FMI.
Alberto Vitaloni (President of San Carlo Gruppo Alimentare S.p.A)
“I’m proud to announce this parternship with FMI for the 2013 season. We will be on track together in the Moto3 World Championship with young talents such as Fenati and Bagnaia, and in the European Stock 600 championship with Morbidelli and Nocco: a great adventure in categories where future champions are born. This just confirms the support we have given to young athletes across several disciplines in the past years. We have an important goal, based on commitment, resilience and passion, all of which are characteristics of our brand. I’m certain we are just laying the foundations for a successful collaboration with a Team that is eager to win”.
Paolo Sesti (FMI President)
“I’m extremely pleased with this partnership that will help our riders in both the Moto3 World and European Stock 600 championships, as well as emerging talent who need support. A renown brand such as San Carlo’s and FMI share the spirit and competitiveness behind this initiative, and this collaboration goes well beyond sponsorship, targeting sports development with an emphasis on youth. These are the foundations for a successful and prolific partnership.
