The last to arrive and the last to show up. The new structure owned by Valentino Rossi managed last year to win the coveted place on the MotoGP grid until then held by the Avintia team, which last season already began a relationship with VR46, giving it one side of the garage that was occupied by the Italian rider Luca Marini.
Precisely, Valentino’s brother and the debutant in the premier class Marco Bezzecchi are the pair of pilots that the new Italian structure has trusted, which reached an agreement with Ducati to have, in 2022, a Desmosedici GP22, in the hands of Marini, and a GP21, with which the rookie in the lineup is giving interesting flashes in the preseason.
After all the teams on the grid have already presented their line-ups and the decoration of their prototypes for the season that starts next week in Qatar, it is the turn of this new team that will be led by Valentino’s friend and right-hand man, Uccio Salucchi. , while the Spanish Pablo Nieto will be the team manager of the team in the queen class.
The presentation is strictly direct from the Rossini Theater in Pesaro , and featured the appearance of Valentino Rossi , although the Italian, who has just turned 43, is waiting for the imminent birth of his first daughter, but he did not want to miss the other ‘birth’, that of his MotoGP team.
In addition to the team in the premier class, on which the greatest attention is focused, the VR46 maintains a formation in the intermediate class, in which it has achieved important successes in the past and in which both Marini and Bezzecchi have passed.
This season, the Moto2 team is made up of Celestino Vietti and Niccolò Antonelli , under the direction of Luca Brivio as team manager.
The two Ducati from the VR46 Racing Team will be the last bikes on the 2022 MotoGP grid to be revealed, if you want to see the decoration of all the bikes presented so far, do it here.
