The livery of Team Fantic Moto2

Fantic is a historic Italian two-wheel brand. It is the protagonist of a commercial and sporting rebirth path that sees participation in the Moto2 World Championship as one of the most visible dynamics. The team has picked up the legacy of Team VR46, now engaged only in MotoGP, and with it a series of structures and commercial partnerships.

They are being joined by several new sponsors by activating additional partnerships. Being part of a large regional network - VeNetWork - provides a mutual opportunity. For the team because the surface of the bike and all other media can convey the brands that are part of it by giving them greater notoriety. For the team because it can count on a good number of investors who continuously or in rotation support the initiative.
