Starting in 2025, the VR46 Racing Team, owned by MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi, will receive full factory support from Ducati.
This significant partnership marks a major step forward for the VR46 team, which has already made impressive strides in the MotoGP paddock since its debut. The deal will elevate the team’s competitive potential by providing them with cutting-edge equipment and direct technical support from Ducati, putting them on equal footing with the official Ducati Lenovo Team.
Ducati’s decision to extend factory support to VR46 comes after a successful partnership with the satellite team. Riders Marco Bezzecchi and Luca Marini have consistently delivered strong performances, catching the attention of both Ducati and the broader MotoGP community. The additional resources and technical expertise from Ducati are expected to further boost VR46’s chances of securing podium finishes and possibly competing for the championship.
This move also strengthens Ducati’s presence on the grid, adding to their growing influence in the sport. For VR46, this collaboration represents a crucial opportunity to establish itself as a top-tier team in MotoGP, continuing Valentino Rossi’s legacy both as a rider and a team owner.
