The VR46 team is tipped to unveil its new ‘Pertamina Enduro’ colours in a launch ceremony in Italy later this month.
The Indonesian oil company will replace Mooney as the title sponsor of Valentino Rossi’s team for its third season in the premier-class. The launch of the team, VR46, is scheduled to take place in Italy on January 24th at 14:00 CET. This unveiling will be part of a busy week of MotoGP launches, including Gresini Ducati on January 20th, the factory Ducati Lenovo team on the 22nd, and Trackhouse Aprilia on the 26th. VR46 had a successful previous season with Marco Bezzecchi, celebrating their first MotoGP victories and briefly leading the world championship. Bezzecchi will continue to ride for the team in 2024, alongside Qatar winner Fabio di Giannantonio, who will replace Luca Marini. Speculations suggest that VR46 may switch to Yamaha machinery for 2025, reuniting Rossi with the manufacturer he won four of his seven MotoGP titles with.
