Rider bio
"I became interested in racing when I was 5 year old, above all because I saw my dad very often ride a motorbike and watched the races on TV, so making me more and more passionate."
"I am very lucky because I come from a motorcyclists family, my grandpa has been an Enduro Champion, my uncle has been an Enduro Champion and my father has been a Supermoto Rider."
"In 2018, with my father's support, I decide to switch from motocross to road racing, because the adrenaline that the speed gives you does not come from any other sport."
"The people who have always supported me and who made this possible are my Dad, my Mom and my Sister."
"My Dad was the person who most transmitted my passion for motorcycling to me, and he was the person who helped me the most to get here."
"He constantly took me to train to try to improve myself as often as possible, and he was the person from here I was inspired the most, if it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't be here."
"My Mom, on the other hand, was the person who matured me the most and who, since childhood, has always helped me from a scholastic point of view and who has always helped me to never stop dreaming, she is a veterinarian."
"Finally my Sister Beatrice who is 16 years old, my first fan, who many times rather than make me miss something deprives herself."
"At school I like learning English and in my free time cycling and going to the gym."
Through his career Filippo has already had a good deal of success and picks out a couple his favourite races: "The 2018 MiniGP European Championship in Franciacorta (IT) when in Race 2, after a bad, start I won the race at the last corner."
"My best race of 2020, was at Estoril during European Talent Cup Race 1 where after starting 9th I was fighting for the 2nd position then ended the race 5th."
"Unfortunately in Race 2 at Estoril one mistake too many led to multiple fractures in my left foot. But I didn't give up and, gritting my teeth, I ran all the championship races."
"The thing that gives me the most satisfaction is finding the best bike setting for my riding style working together with each of the team members, so trying to obtain the best possible results."
"My favourite tracks are: Imola, especially for the many variations and for the numerous ups and downs and the roller coaster of Portimão."
"My biggest dream is to be a Champion, my heroes are James Stewart in supercross and Marc Marquez in road racing."
"My expectations for the 2021; gaining experience and trying to give my best in both championships: the Moto3 FIM CEV Repsol and Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup. I will try my best not to waste the precious opportunity."
