Moto2, Yamaha closes with VR46 Master Camp. Uccio: "a project born in Tavullia."

Yamaha and VR46 will part ways at the end of the season regarding the Moto2 collaboration. United since 2016 when the Master Camp project focussing on young talents took shape, the program has gone from being a simple five-day "school from the ground up" in Tavullia, to a concrete commitment in the Moto3 class of the CEV and, later, starting in 2019 in the middle category of MotoGP.

After lining up Manuel Gonzalez and Keminth Kubo, the 2024 VR46 Master Camp has set its sights on Ayumu Sasaki and Jeremy Alcoba, the latter of whom was able to get two fourth places at Montmelo and Motegi.

"We are immensely proud of what we have achieved over the past eight years. The goal of this partnership was to take care of budding riders, and together we have celebrated growth, endurance and memorable milestones on the track. As the chapter closes, Yamaha is grateful for the journey shared with VR46," were the words of general manager Tetsu Ono entrusted to the official statement.

"From the beginning, we knew we had to offer something unique to help young riders grow by giving them the best opportunities. When we started the Master Camps in Tavullia, we could not have imagined that the project would evolve to such an extent that it would take us with our own team into Moto2. We thank the manufacturer, sponsors, riders and staff who have been with us over the years, as well as all the fans who have supported us," was the comment of Alessio "Uccio" Salucci.
