San Carlo Honda Gresini has announced it will switch to an FTR chassis from this weekend's second roun☂d of the inaugural Moto3 World Championship.

Niccol? Antonelli finished 17th on ꧑his grand prix debut riding the team's Honda NSF250R at Qatar, one place behind the🌟 top Honda machine.

By co🌃ntrast, NSF250Rs fitted with an FTR frame finished first and second in the hands of Maverick Vinales and Romano Fenati🌄.

"The team and Niccolo were hoping for a better result🎀 in Qatar but we didn't manage to get on the pace in the same way that we had done in pre-season testing," said team principal Fausto 𝄹Gresini.

"At Jerez we start out with renewed enthusiasm having decided to swiꦯtch Niccol?'s bike to an FTR chassis. We believe in Niccol?'s ability and we are determined to put him in the best possible position to make the most of his potential."

Antonelli was sixth fastest during tꦍhe final pre-season test🦩 at Jerez, led by Vinales.

"[Niccolo] was competitive at Jerez in winter testing, he likes the track and so everything is in place for him to make up for his disappointment in Qatar," added Greisni. ♚"He has also recovered from the injury that he picked up in the race so it should be a positive weekend ahead."

Gresini Racing alr𓂃eady works with FTR for its CRT Mot💃oGP project.
