Valentino Rossi’s VR46 team will take over from Pramac as Ducati’s top-level satellite MotoGP squad from 2025 in a ‘multi-year’ deal
Valentino Rossi’s VR46 team will become Ducati’s top-level satellite MotoGP squad in 2025 in a ‘multi-year’ agreement, with VR46 set to receive the only 2025-spec Ducati available to a satellite team, likely for Fabio Di Giannantonio. Franco Morbidelli will join as his teammate with an older bike. The new rider line-up was not confirmed, but intentions were hinted at by Ducati team manager Davide Tardozzi. VR46 team principal Uccio Salucci expressed immense pride in the new partnership with Ducati. Ducati’s decision follows Pramac’s move to Yamaha, reducing the production of its latest bikes. This deal signifies a significant moment in VR46’s rapid rise in MotoGP since its inception only three years ago.
