Even MotoGP is not immune to negative headlines. A statement by Pramac-Yamaha team manager Gino Borsoi, whose name is being misused in a scam, is currently causing a stir.

MotoGP draws millions of fans to their screens – and to the racetracks. For any enthusiast, the highlight of a MotoGP weekend is a visit to the paddock. The prospect of a selfie with one of the GP heroes and spectacular hospitality suites is downright addictive. Access to the inner circle of MotoGP, however, is only available by invitation from a team or a relevant partner of the World Championship – or by purchasing a VIP ticket. Depending on the circuit, this will in any case cost a four-figure sum per person.
Scammers are well aware of this and are up to no good, peddling fake paddock pass offers that bypass the official MotoGP channels. The latest victim of such a scam: Gino Borsoi. The name of this highly respected Italian, who has held various team management roles for many years; his greatest personal achievement was the 2024 campaign, when he guided Jorge Martin to the World Championship title with Pramac-Ducati.
The scam: using contact details obtained illegally, ticket offers that do not actually exist are sent out in the name of the respected MotoGP team manager. The aim of this method is to persuade unsuspecting fans within the MotoGP community to transfer money.
The real Gino Borsoi has now raised the alarm via social media. The former GP rider provided information and issued a warning at the same time: ‘Attention – important notice. I have been informed that some people are contacting others in my name and offering access and tickets to MotoGP races in exchange for money. That is not me. This is an attempt at fraud. Please do not trust anyone who approaches you with such requests in my name. Many thanks, Gino Borsoi.”
As with all digital scams, the aim here is to undermine common sense by offering a temptingly cheap and ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ deal. Access to the heart of MotoGP remains available only through official ticketing channels or via a guest pass arranged through personal contact with the host.
