The racing motorcycles are beautiful when they win, that should be what they think of the VR46 that has just presented in Yakarta its alignment of pilots for the new season, and also their colors. They affect the yellow fluorine as a main color mixing with white, black, red and blue to create a motorcycle that is not suitable for all tastes.
The decoration work has remained the work of the famous Aldo Drudi and his company, Drudi Performance. In addition to this mixture of colors imposed in part by the sponsors, it also includes the mythical scheme of the sun and the moon on each side of the motorcycle remembering Valentino, as well as the 46 on the front in the front in a discreet way below the dorsals of The pilots.
There is no doubt that at a practical level the decoration of the enduro VR46, the official name of the Rossi team, is the best of the grill, because at a quick look you can locate any of its two pilots: Fabio Di Di Gianantonio and Franco Morbidelli.
The most important change of VR46 in 2025 is its rise within Ducati
Although the main novelty of this season for the VR46 goes further from Fabio’s continuity and the arrival of Franco, since before the passage of Pramac Racing to Yamaha, the Italian team becomes status of Ducati satellite equipment. For this reason Di Gianantonio will have the same motorcycle as Pecco Bagnaia and Marc Márquez in the official team, and that is why everyone expects a leap forward in competitiveness of the young Italian, who is still in the process of recovering the complicated shoulder injury he suffered last season and for which it had to be operated. Fabio himself analyzed the situation:
«Presenting the team here is good for Indonesia. In this part of the world, people are very passionate about our sport. It is incredible to see so many people encouraging and it is great to have many followers. Our new design is incredible, this year we have taken a great step with these little details. As for the shoulder, I am recovering quite well from the operation, which was hard. I think I am 85 %, but during the winter we work hard and I think it should reach 100 % for the first race of the season. I have a new teammate, Franky! I am looking forward to working with him, I think I can learn a lot from him, he is a pilot who has won many races, he was world champion and MotoGP ™ runner -up ».
About whom there are more doubts about the rapid ability to have is about Morbidelli. Since he decided to try to solve his knee problems with a complicated operation, the Italian has not recovered the competitiveness he showed. Perhaps finding yourself in a closer and more familiar environment like the VR46 allows you to demonstrate the talent that is undeniable. In the presentation, in fact, Franco was very excited about the new stage:
«It’s great to start from here, present the team and have the first tests in Indonesia. This part of the world is increasingly important for motor sports, especially motorcycles. There is a lot of passion, it is incredible to maintain contact with people from here and be able to talk to them. It was also great to see my ’21’ on the new motorcycle, the colors are wonderful and I love the shadow of 46 behind the number. The design is beautiful! It is a new team for me, but I already know everyone. Running for Valentino Rossi’s team is amazing; He improved motorcycle races. There is a fantastic atmosphere and I think this is one of the strongest points of the team. Surely there are many more things, and I will discover them during the season. In 2025 our goal is to improve last year’s results, we have a very good package thanks to Ducati. I get along with Fabio, we have known each other for a long time, it is very fast and it will be important to work together to get great results for the team ».
