Ing. Enea Mattei SpA is revving its engine ready for the 2016 season. And it does so by jumping onto the saddle of the motorcycle riddern by the Dutch champion Rob Hartog.
The Italian company, a world leader in the compressed air sector with its rotary vane compressors, has signed a sponsorship deal with the Hartog team; the star will make his world championship debut this year with the new Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R racing for the Hartog-Jenik Against Cancer team.
“This year Mattei decided to partner up with the young champion Rob Hartog during his new adventure in the Superbike league, together with many other major names in the international industry – comments Giulio Contaldi, CEO di Ing. Enea Mattei SpA – Linking the Mattei brand to such a winning name as Hartog’s is a totally new challenge for us, and one we hope to win”.
Rob Hartog, born in 1992, Wil's nephew, the first Dutchman ever to win a 500 race in Assen, back in 1977, is a highly promising youngster racing at the world class level, who distinguished himself in 2015 by gaining points in almost every race and conquering the 10th position in the ranking of the Superstock 600 European championship in his debut year.
