MotoGP, Alberto Giribuola starts again with Fernandez waiting for Bastianini in Tech3

One of the reasons that convinced Enea Bastianini to accept the KTM challenge in 2025 has a name, a surname and a nickname. It is Alberto Giribuola, aka Pigiamino, the chief technician who joined Enea in his MotoGP debut and who was with him at Gresini Racing in the magnificent 2022 season that allowed Bastianini to earn his stripes as an official in Ducati for the two-year period 23/24.

Only Alberto did not follow Enea to Ducati Factory, preferring to accept a different role in KTM in the year when other names such as Fabiano Sterlacchini, Francesco Guidotti and Christian Pupulin arrived from Ducati in the Austrian Factory. However, it will be Enea who will find Giribuola again in KTM in 2025 , and he will do so in the Tech3 team, where just since the Aragon GP, Pigiamino has returned to his role as chief technician and is working alongside Augusto Fernandez. In fact, we spotted Alberto in the paddock in these Tech3 colors, quickly finding confirmation of what we wrote.

The Fernandez-Giribuola pair will continue this collaboration until the end of the season, also allowing Alberto to totally reacquaint himself with this delicate role, waiting to reunite with Bastianini from the Valencia tests at the end of the season and try to rebuild the magical alchemy that gave birth to the beautiful 2022 they starred in.
