It’s January 20th, and as always, we end up sharing an anecdote, wondering if, at 38, Sic would still be racing, or reflecting on how MotoGP would be today if “the Simoncelli era” had been fully realized.
It was not realized, because these are races. (…). “Sic is a bread and salami guy”, someone said when we couldn’t have imagined that we would end up mourning him. And probably, that definition was the truest of all, because it was as innocent and simple as that guy was. Deep, but lighthearted.

It’s February 5th, and like every year since the “Sic58 Squadra Corse era” has taken the place of Sic’s, we are here for the Team Presentation, the event that, for us, is the real January 1st. It marks the start of the World Championship and makes us say: “Here we are. This is where it all begins again. We restart from us”
There’s no more fitting description than this, we want to stand out this way: a “bread and salami” team. Few people, no “complaints” … making up a straightforward and true team, so real that it gives the name we carry the weight it deserves. We’ll be there every February, as long as passion and fun remain stronger than the passing of time.
As long as the frustration at the foot of the podium weighs less than the hours spent in the air… as long as the thrill of climbing its steps is greater than the disappointment of our falls.
As long as you, our sponsors, enthusiasts of this intricate sport, who experience it through our eyes, continue to remember Sic’s Rule and his achievements, the true glue of this adventure… as long as you continue to feel at home with us, even on the other side of the world.
TO THIS NEW BEGINNING TOGETHER “SIC 58 SQUADRA CORSE”!
To us, who will always find the strength to not give up, falling 10 times and getting up 11.
Because no one knows better than us, that this… is racing.
