Gresini Racing has announced BK8 News as its new title sponsor in the MotoGP World Championship for the upcoming 2025 season.

Gresini’s deal with BK8 News – an Asian sports news platform – is for two years and will cover the 2025 and 2026 seasons, with the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Gresini Racing team being rebr⛄anded as BK8 Gresꦆini Racing MotoGP.

While BK8 News is a sports news platform, it is derived from BK8: a sports betting platform which has a history of sponsorship in European-centric sports such as f❀ootball. BK8 has previously had sponsorship deals with Aston Villa and Norwich City. The midlands club cancelled its deal that was originally set to expire at the end of the 2025/26 Premier League season in favour of a new deal with another betting company: Betaꦕno.

On the other hand, Norwich ultimately cancelled its deal🧸 in 2021 after t🔴he club faced backlash over sexualised marketing material used on social media by the Asian company.

“I am thrilled to announce the signing of a title sponsorship agreement for the Gresini Racing MotoGP Team,” said Carlo Merlini, commercial and marketing director at Gresini Racing, which will field Spaniards 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fermin Aldeguer in the 2025 MotoGP season.

“Adrenaline, speed, and excitement mak𒆙e MotoGP an incredibly powerful marketing p♓latform, offering brands unparalleled global visibility, and Gresini Racing stands among the best organisations in the sport.

“It’s no surprise that a maj𝓰or brand like BK8 News has chosen the excꦑeptional Gresini – MotoGP combination as its flagship project to achieve its goals.

“I want to extend my gratitude to everyone at BK8 NEWS for their dedication꧒ and commitment over the past few🐻 weeks in making this project a reality.

“I truly can’t wait to hit the track in our n▨ew colours and kick off the BK8 Gresini൲ MotoGP Team in the best way possible.”
