A unique day was experienced today by students from the School of Engineering at the University of Florence: aspiring engineers from the Tuscan university met Celestino Vietti, rider of the Red Bull KTM Ajo Moto 2 team, and Francesco Guidotti, Team Manager of the Austrian team in the MotoGP for the past three years, special guests for an unmissable lecture .
The meeting, introduced by Professor Giovanni Savino, a lecturer in the Department of Industrial Engineering, saw Vietti - who moved to the Red Bull KTM Ajo team this year - talk about what it means to be a professional rider. From the importance of the right technical feedback when testing new bike components, to the approach a rider must have in dealing with difficult moments to achieve success. Guidotti, on the other hand, brought his testimony on the complexities of the role of Team Manager and the responsibilities associated with it, also knowing how to give advice on approaching this career. Both guests also went into technical disaminations, which were particularly welcome to an audience of engineers.
At the end of the lecture, students were given a unique opportunity: to try out, at the Gaming zone set up for the event with PlayStation 5 Gamestands, Milestone's newest game MotoGP 2024. In addition, the luckiest were able to directly challenge Celestino Vietti for the best time on the Mugello track, just ahead of the upcoming June 2 event.
