Davide Tardozzi was complimentary of the VR46 team despite a tough 2025
Despite a disappointing 2025 campaign for Valentino Rossi’s VR46 squad, Ducati MotoGP team boss Davide Tardozzi emphasizes the team’s importance to them. Rossi’s team joined MotoGP in 2022 under Ducati, initially finding success with wins by Marco Bezzecchi, but struggled to reach the podium since 2023. VR46 secured factory support from Ducati for 2025 with Fabio Di Giannantonio on a GP25, yet he managed only four podiums without a race win, while Franco Morbidelli had two third-place finishes on the GP24. Despite VR46 being the only Ducati team not to win a race in 2025, Tardozzi commends their professionalism and emphasizes the need for improvement in the upcoming seasons.
