A new, two-year partnership extension see Astra Otoparts and Gresini Racing continue their journey together. The Indonesian giant bets once again on the Gresini MotoGP project and in 2024 will be alongside Alex and Marc Marquez in a season that has already shown great potential for the two light-blue dressed brothers. 
 
Astra Otoparts top brand Aspira will be on display in all the main elements of Team Gresini MotoGP: from the bike to the riders’ leathers, team uniforms, pit-box panels, team trucks and MotoGP hospitality.
 
A leading institution in the production and distribution of automotive spare parts, Astra Otoparts continue to contribute to the strengthening of the relations between Gresini and Indonesia, which is in all ways a second home for the Faenza-based team. 

TUJUH MARTOGI SIAHAAN – DIRECTOR ASTRA OTOPARTS - "It’s an honour for us to be able to announce the extension of the partnership with Gresini Racing MotoGP for this season and the next one. We only wish for a further strengthening of the partnership between one of Astra’s top brands in the automotive industry, Aspira, and Gresini. I believe this new stellar line up made by the Marquez brothers makes this season a very interesting one and we expect to see a great story to be told in MotoGP. Indonesian people love Marquez for his incredible performance and this positivity will reflect also in our collaboration.”

CARLO MERLINI – GRESINI RACING COMMERCIAL & MARKETING DIRECTOR - “13 years together. What is a historical partnership will continue for at least another two years, until the end of 2025, and I’m extremely happy about it. We share a lot with Astra Motoparts and will continue to do so by raising the bar of our share goals a bit further up. We started the season among the protagonists, and we intend to do so until the final round in Valencia. We continue to grow together and a thank you goes to the whole Astra Family, which is in all ways an integral part of the #GresiniFamily.”
