Pramac Racing have unwrapped their 2022 MotoGP™ livery as the Italian outfit gets set to embark on a new adventure this season, with new Team Manager Claudio Calabresi at the helm.

2021 Rookie of the Year Jorge Martin and teammate Johann Zarco were on hand to take the covers off their GP22s, with high expectations heaped on both this season. Martin claimed four poles, one victory, one second place and two thirds in his first MotoGP™ campaign, with many predicting a title charge is coming for the Spaniard.
Zarco will also be hoping he can string a Championship assault together. The Frenchman finished fifth overall in 2021 after claiming four second place finishes, so a maiden premier class victory will be the first goal for the number 5.
Paolo Campinoti: “This year's goal is to reconfirm ourselves on very important levels after the excellent results of last season. 2021 has shown that hard work, associated with the great professionalism of the people who make up the team, brings great results.
“The relationship we have created with Johann and Jorge is special and the rankings speak for themselves: Best Team Independent, Best Rider Independent and Rookie of the Year, Pramac Racing's best season. I can't wait to get started, we expect great things.”
Claudio Calabresi: “This is my first time as a Team Manager and I will do my best to take Pramac Racing even higher. I am sure that Johann and Jorge will give us a big hand, who already in 2021 did an exceptional job. This year the challenge is fascinating: to confirm ourselves and grow further. We have great ambitions and we will do everything to give our fans a lot of satisfaction.”
Fonsi Nieto: “The whole team is working hard to get off to a great start. We want to reconfirm ourselves among the most competitive MotoGP teams. Last year with Johann and Jorge we did incredible things, now we want to raise the bar again and fight for the top positions in every race. I think we have all the credentials to achieve great goals.”
Johann Zarco: “I am really happy to be racing another season with Pramac Racing. Continuity is important to improve and to carry out ambitious projects. We have built an excellent relationship with the team and I am very satisfied with what we have done last season. I can't wait to leave for tests and get on the bike. It will be a great season.”
Jorge Martin: “Last season was the most intense of my life, a succession of very strong emotions, moments of great difficulty but also of extreme happiness. Together with Pramac Racing we have started to build something special. Last year we laid the foundations, this year we are ready for great things.”
