The VR46 is going to have its own MotoGP team next season. Valentino Rossi's academy will make the big leap to the premier class, in which it will be present until at least 2026. This is, so far, the only thing we know about the VR46 project. Well, and that they will race a Ducati, but right now even that could be up in the air.
The loss of the sponsor of the VR46, which will no longer go hand in hand with Aramco, together with the latest announcements that have been made, and those that have not been made, make us suspect that something is happening with the VR46, and the This situation could also affect other teams and brands on the grid. In theory, in Misano there will be an official announcement.
Is a breakaway from the VR46 with Yamaha in the works?
The last word on the VR46 is that the bombastic sponsorship that had been hyped up by Aramco was more akin to a Ponzi scheme than a real deal. VR46 has been left without Aramco, and it seems that this has greatly disrupted the plans of the structure. Plan B could be Bardahl and Sky.
In Motorpasion MotoManuel Poggiali, the great lost MotoGP talent who demonstrates the importance of mental health in the sportThe first announcement that has not yet been produced is that of the pilots. It is surprising that Luca Marini and Marco Bezzecchi have not yet been confirmed as the team's riders. Taking a look at the market, it doesn't seem like there are many alternatives available either, and even less that comply with the philosophy of the VR46.
It is clear that Valentino Rossi's brother, Marini, is going to have a place in MotoGP and in the VR46. He is fixed, but in the case of Bezzecchi it is very suspicious that it has not yet been announced, taking into account that, on the drawn board, neither VR46 has a better option nor does Bezzecchi himself.
Yes, there is a theory that they want to advertise in Misano, but what's the point of waiting so long? Does announcing it at Misano add anything extra? This is where another theory comes in: maybe there are issues between the VR46 and Ducati, or without Aramco it's no longer the right choice, and a breakout plan to Yamaha is in the works.

After all, for the VR46 and Yamaha to go hand in hand is natural. Valentino Rossi is the goose that lays the golden eggs of Iwata, and when they let her go they believed that it was in exchange for retaining a giant like Petronas, not a decadent structure like RNF Racing, the remains of Petronas.
This is where the question of why VR46 has not yet announced its pilots comes in, when it is obvious that they should be Marini and Bezzecchi. Yamaha signed Andrea Dovizioso to a contract for 2022, so he has to be in the Yamaha satellite team. And perhaps that the VR46 and the RNF Racing do that work, with six motorcycles of the tuning forks on the track, is not an option.
It may seem bizarre, but you have to look at more things that have been announced and things that haven't. For example, RNF Racing and Dorna communicated, including a handshake and photo, that the remains of Petronas were going to continue in MotoGP until 2026. But no peep was said about which bike.
A priori, there is no other option than with Yamaha. RNF Racing is the only satellite team without an assigned brand, and Yamaha needs a partner structure, if only to place Dovizioso. Another piece, like Bezzecchi's, that should fit on its own, but it's not being confirmed. What has been confirmed, and recently, is the following.
Yamaha and the VR46 have partnered to create a Moto2 team that serves as a school for young Yamaha riders. That is, VR46 is going to train young riders for Yamaha, and they are not going to take advantage of them? If VR46 is with Ducati in MotoGP, they will not be able to taste those pearls that they bake in Moto2 at the Yamaha school. Very rare.

The pieces fit together, and both the ads and the non-ads are suspect, but only Misano will have the answer. Or maybe not.
