Talento Paulista, we are dreaming with you!

It's an old story but one that remains true: the world is always waiting for a new Brazilian talent…

After more than two decades of absence, MotoGP will return to Brazilian soil in 2026 at the Autódromo Internacional Ayrton Senna, a circuit whose very name stirs emotions in anyone passionate about engines—whether on two wheels or four. The last Grand Prix held in Brazil was in 2004 at the Autódromo Nelson Piquet in Rio de Janeiro, when the Honda RC211V dominated the scene in the premier class.

Diogo Moreira Nascimento wasn't even born—or to be more precise, was just a few weeks old—when MotoGP last raced in his home country. That Brazilian race saw Tamada claim victory—marking the first win for Bridgestone tires in the class —with Biaggi and Hayden completing the podium. Today, Diogo is a rising star on the Moto2 grid with Italtrans Racing Team, undoubtedly one of the best teams in the class.

We first met Diogo during the Valencian round of the JuniorGP in 2021.

We were there during that weekend, not with any of the racing services we normally bring around the paddocks, but just to be part of that event, staying connected with people from that racing community and scouting future talents. By chance, the weekend became immediately operative; indeed, on that occasion we measured Diogo for the first time as he was joining the REV'IT! riders' lineup for the 2022 season. At that time, Diogo was competing in both the Red Bull Rookies Cup and the Junior World Championship, finishing 6th and 11th respectively in the final standings.

His consistent performances earned him an invitation to the World Championship. 

We took his measurements in the back of the garage during that racing weekend. Though it wasn't the ideal spot for measurements, we embrace working on the road. The measurements noted on the iPad capturing the rider's body proportions were accompanied by the scent of fuel and the rhythmic sounds of mechanics working on the bikes after the session. The racing world isn't always as glamorous as it appears from the outside, and we love these moments that are so full of passion and authenticity.

The very first suit we made for Diogo in December 2021 was already stating, loud and clear, his Brazilian origins: a black matte base filled with the iconic number 10 on the whole back and artworks on sleeves and chest always inspired by the flag in colors but artistically turned into a brushstroke.

The butt patch “D10GO”is a perfect integration of his name and racing number, as effective as natural.

This suit wasn't just made for standard training or testing. It was created for Diogo's first participation in the annual, invitation-only, 100 Km dei Campioni held at Valentino Rossi's ranch in early January 2022. Remarkably, just three years later in 2025, Diogo won the race alongside his teammate for that event, Thomas Chareyre.

The 2025 TAILORTECH X_GP suit Diogo wears to compete in the Moto2 World Championship features the latest updates, including new shapes and layering for reduced weight and improved aerodynamics.
One of the most impressive features of Diogo's TAILORTECH X_GP suit is the sleeve design. Traditional sleeves use two pieces of leather covering the rider from wrist to shoulder.

Typically, the stitching line runs along the back of the sleeve, starting at the wrist, passing through the elbow, and ending at the armhole. In contrast, the TAILORTECH X_GP suit uses just one piece of leather, reducing the stitching to a small section hidden beneath the elbow.

Why is this so important? This 92% reduction in stitching lines not only makes the sleeve exceptionally comfortable but also significantly reduces a potential weak point in the suit.

Examining a TAILORTECH X_GP suit before assembly is a remarkable experience for racing product enthusiasts. It embodies racing's essential nature—something only those who truly understand racing can appreciate. The design eliminates everything unnecessary, including only elements that enhance performance. This creates technically the most advanced suit possible, perfectly fitted to riders with seamlessly integrated airbag technology.

Brazil returns to the calendar in 2026. Diogo’s trajectory is already pointing forward. Our job is to keep sharpening the tools—lighter where it counts, stronger where it matters, and always tuned to the rider. Talento Paulista, we’re ready to follow you to the grid.
