VALENTINO ROSSI – PERTAMINA ENDURO VR46 RACING TEAM OWNER
“We are very happy and proud to continue this MotoGP adventure for another five years. In a short time in the premier class, the VR46 Racing Team has grown tremendously: we are one of the youngest teams in the MotoGP grid, yet we have already shown that we can be among the leading contenders and that we have a strong, recognizable identity, just as we began to demonstrate in the lower categories. This new agreement represents a very important step for the future of MotoGP, with the goal of reaching even more fans around the world and making this sport – which is our passion – even more spectacular and exciting. We are ready to continue this challenge, and we want to share every moment with our supporters, who back us from every corner of the world.”
