What was an open secret is already official.The VR46 will run on MotoGP next season as its own team.The structure of Valentino Rossi will participate in the queen category of the World Cup supported by the Saudi oil of Aramco, which will be the main sponsor of the team in this new adventure.
The VR46 has signed with MotoGP a contract that unites the category until 2026 but for now it is not revealed if it will occupy the Plaza del Esponsorama or with which motorcycle they will run.It only becomes official what was already in the environment: that Valentino Rossi will have his own MotoGP team from 2022.
It is not clarified if the VR46 will occupy the Plaza del Esponsorama, the new position of Sky or the motorcycle that will carry
The official announcement has arrived by Aramco, who confirms the agreement reached with the VR46 to go hand in the five contract seasons they have signed with MotoGP.The official name of the team will be Aramco Racing Team VR46, so it is very likely that the blue and green colors join the usual black of the VR46.
In the statement, it is also confirmed that the VR46 maintains its intact Moto2 structure, but now adds that of MotoGP.Recall that a year ago they closed the Moto3 team to be able to face Luca Marini's landing in the queen category, running with the sponsor but with the colors of the Valentino Rossi Academy.
This agreement with Aramco also doubts about the strength of the union between the VR46 and Sky.In principle, the television operator was the strongest support of Valentino Rossi, the one that occupies the most space on his motorcycle2 motorcycles and Marini's motorcycle, but now, almost to continue, he would be relegated from the post of the main main sponsor.
Although the VR46 is not yet on the MotoGP grid as a team, it is Luca Marini is wearing its colors in the Ducati of the sponsor.It was expected that it was a first step to turn the Spanish team into the VR46, but at the moment nothing has been said about it.Could it be the first step for a grid of 26 pilots?
Another thing that is not revealed is what motorcycle the VR46 will run.In recent days it was linked to the structure of Valentino Rossi with Aprilia, but the most logical thing would be that it ended up linked to Yamaha, in the event that they lose Petronas, or Suzuki, who a priori could contribute a more competitive motorcycle that April.But the Italian ties and the past in Noale throws Rossi a lot.
As for the pilots, it is clear that Luca Marini is going to be one of them.Rossi's brother has an insured position, but to pilot the second motorcycle there are two very good options.The first, Marco Bezzecchi, current motorcycle pilot and academy.The second, Valentino Rossi himself, who could take a year of farewell already with audiences and running in his own team.
