VR46 gets margin to decide with which bike it goes up to MotoGP

Last Wednesday, a statement was made public by the Tanal Entertainment holding company, owned by the Saudi prince Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al Saud , announcing the agreement between VR46 and the Aramco petrochemical company, which from 2022 to 2026 will act as the official sponsor of the structure in the category of heavy motorcycles.

The note even caught those responsible for VR46 by surprise, who initially wanted to wait to communicate their landing in MotoGP when they had also closed the contract with the supplier of the prototypes.

This Saturday, from Jerez, Salucci , Rossi’s close friend and right-hand man since Il Dottore debuted in the World Cup (1996), congratulated himself on the step forward taken by VR46, and anticipated that, in a maximum period of ten days, You will know which bikes the chosen pair of riders will have available. It can be taken for granted that one of them will be Luca Marini , Rossi’s brother, even though it is unknown who will occupy the other side of the workshop, since Enea Bastianini , current neighbor of Marini’s workshop in the Avintia box, is not part of the Rossi training academy.

“We are talking with Yamaha , with Ducati and Aprilia , which is a motorcycle that has grown a lot. We want to close everything in ten days because the motorcycles are where everything else begins to be built”, agreed Salucci.

“Creating a MotoGP team requires a lot of work and a lot of time, and that is why we will decide soon,” added Uccio.

“We are very pleased to have closed this five-year alliance with Aramco . This project has been talked about for a long time, but we didn’t start working on it until about five days ago”, continued the Italian.
