Valentino Rossi ‘not a MotoGP team owner who pretends’ – Bezzecchi
Marco Bezzecchi had a successful season with the VR46 Ducati team, finishing third in the championship with three grand prix victories. Despite being offered a factory deal with Pramac, Bezzecchi decided to stay with VR46 and will ride a year-old bike in 2024. Part of his decision was influenced by the close-knit group he would be leaving behind. While Valentino Rossi’s involvement with the VR46 team is not hands-on, he supports and helps his Academy members off the track. Bezzecchi considers it a privilege to be associated with Rossi’s team and values the support he receives from the MotoGP legend. The addition of Fabio Di Giannantonio to the team next season will be the first time a non-VR46 Academy rider competes at any level of the world championship with the squad.
