After Gresini Racing, and the official team, today it's the VR46's turn to unveil the liveries of their Ducatis. The event will be held in Indonesia - home of the main sponsor, Pertamina - at the Nuas Indah Theater in Jakarta. The appointment is at 12:30 pm, and you can follow the live streaming of the presentation on this page.
For Valentino Rossi's team, 2025 promises to be a very interesting year. First of all, the team has become 'factory supported', that is, the satellite team of reference for Borgo Panigale. In fact, along with the factory team, VR46 will be the only one to have a GP25 in its garage.
The most updated Desmosedici will be entrusted to Fabio Di Giannantonio, in his second year in fluorescent yellow. The rider from Rome arrived in Valentino's team by a series of coincidences and, last year, he convinced him, but a bad injury then affected his season and forced him to end it two GPs early. He got back into shape during the winter, and 2025 will be his first year in the MotoGP with an official bike.
An old acquaintance of the VR46 team will be present on the other side of the garage: Franco Morbidelli. He was the first "student" Rossi had wanted in the Riders Academy. But Frankie never raced in the colors of his home team, so this will be a debut. He'll be riding the GP24 that he was getting to know last season. The championship wasn't easy and began with a bad accident during training, which prevented him from participating in the winter tests.
Now all we have to do is wait until 12:30 pm, when we'll see Fabio and Franco on their bikes with their new colors.
