BIO

Lorenzo Baldassarri first started in the Italian Minibike Championship in 2004, before heading to the national MiniGP 50cc Metrakit championship in 2007, which he won. 2008 then saw him taking part in the Mediterraneo Spanish Championship Challenger 80cc Metrakit class where he came eighth, and in 2010 he competed in the Pre GP 125cc Catalan Championship where he was runner-up. 2011 proved to be a great year for Lorenzo, as he won the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, taking two wins and six podiums along the way. In 2012, he came eighth in the Spanish CEV Moto3 Championship.

He made his World Championship debut in 2013; his best result of the year was 17th at Motegi. Lorenzo moved to Moto 2 in 2014, after adapting to the new bike he was able to finish in the Top10 at the end of the season.

In 2015 he joined Forward Racing still in Moto2 as well as being a rider of the VR46 Riders Academy and his results steadily improved reaching his first career podium in Australia and consistently fighting for the Top5 in the second part of the season. He stayed with Forward Racing in Moto2 to further improve his results.

At his home race in Mugello Lorenzo narrowly missed out on his first win and came home second. At his second home round in Misano he was finally able to celebrate his career first win in Moto2 and wants to be a serious contender in the title fight with Forward Racing in 2017.
