Italian racer Romano Fenati made his debut in the Italian 125GP Championship in 2010 before lining up on the Moto3™ World Championship grid with Team Italia FMI for the first time in 2012, making an instant impact as he came second in Qatar and won the second race in Jerez. After a more challenging 2013, Fenati bounced back the following year as he joined Sky Racing Team VR46, winning four races and finishing fifth overall. He took another race win and more podiums in 2015, and stayed with Sky Racing Team VR46 in the lightweight class for another shot at the title the following season. After a good start, Fenati then parted ways with the squad before the Austrian GP and sat out the remainder of the season. The Italian was back in Moto3™ for 2017 with Marinelli Rivacold Snipers and took second overall as well as some stunning wins - moving up to Moto2™ with the same team in 2018. Fenati was then involved in more drama at Misano in an incident with Stefano Manzi, after which Fenati was suspended and not allowed to compete for the rest of the season. He returns to Moto3™ for 2019, with the same team under a different name.
