Watch live as the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team unveils its 2026 MotoGP livery.
Valentino Rossi’s VR46 Racing Team is set to reveal its 2026 MotoGP livery today at midday CET (11am UK) in Rome, the hometown of riders Fabio di Giannantonio and Franco Morbidelli. The launch will be held at Villa Miani and promises to showcase “the new Black and Light,” hinting at a change from the previous fluorescent yellow and white colors. Despite being Pramac’s successor as Ducati’s factory-backed satellite team, VR46 aims for a stronger season with upgraded status and a factory-spec Desmosedici for di Giannantonio. In the previous year’s world championship, VR46 finished behind both the official Ducati Lenovo squad and Gresini, with di Giannantonio finishing sixth in the standings, just ahead of Morbidelli, and securing a total of six grand prix podiums and seven Sprint rostrums. As VR46’s third season with Pertamina as the title sponsor approaches, di Giannantonio will race the latest Desmosedici machinery, while Morbidelli will continue on a year-old satellite-spec Ducati, like the injured Fermin Aldeguer. VR46 will be the second MotoGP team to unveil its new racing colors, following Pramac Yamaha’s launch.
