Following the enthusiasm for the outstanding successes already achieved with Francesco Bagnaia winning the second Virtual MotoGP™ Race, Pramac Racing is becoming ever more involved in this world while expanding its family by hiring one of the best virtual riders worldwide: Davide Gallina – aka davidegallina23 – virtual rider and already main player in the 2018 Valencia final. In addition to being able to watch his races on screen, fans can get to know Davide better by following him on his YouTube, Twitch and Instagram channels.
Pramac Racing has risen to the challenge and has been relying on the experience of the innovative startup Pro2Be eSports – the first eSports agency in Italy -, to enter this new adventure in the most professional and competitive way right from the get-go.
The MotoGP™ eSport Championship 2020 consists in one online Pro Draft and 4 on site Rounds called Global Series. The Pro Draft 2020 consisted in three Online Challenges which were disputed in the time attack mode.
