VR46: Bezzecchi Aprilia deal ‘extra motivation to continue’
Alessio Salucci: ‘As a te⭕am, this is ex🔯tra motivation for us to continue in this direction, to create a model to repeat'

With 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini now at Repsol Honda and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi joining Aprilia next season, VR46 has again achieved its goal of placing young riders in factory MotoGP teams.
Indeed, by next season, 🉐all four VR46 Academy riders currently in MotoGP will have raced for official teams, with reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia at Ducati and Franco Morbidelli spending two years at Yamaha before switching to Pramac.
But with Marini and now Bezzecchi flying the nest, and no other young Academy talents re♈ady♓ to join MotoGP, where does that leave the VR46 team?
Director Alessio Salucci described Bezzecchi’s Aprilia deal, ne🐟gotiated in-house by the VR46 Academy, as:
“A bittersweet moment... On the one hand, we can oꦛnly be happy to have played an important role in the jump of a young rider from the VR46 Riders Academ🤪y to an official structure.
“On the other, after five seasons, our relationship with Marco is truly special, familiar, we have shared many beautiful moments together and many of the successes ꦐin our history are linked to his name.”
Rather than a case of ‘mission accomplished’, Salucci made cl🌱ear that the team’s goals are onwards and upwards for the post-Bezzecchi era.
“As a team, this [🧸Bezzecchi Aprilia deal] is a [proud moment] and extra motivation for us to continue in this direction, to create a model to repeat, to always aim high and to consolidate ourselves as a reference structure in the championship,” he said.
“About Marco, beyond the great results, we will remember the many moments shared on and off the 🌄track.
“As Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team we can do nothing more than hope for him a future full of successes and satisfactio🌊ns. Until Valencia, we will continue to work without leaving anything to chance for reaching ambitious goals together.”
Feꩲllow Italian Fabio di Giannantonio, who is not a member🐬 of the VR46 Academy, is currently Bezzecchi’s team-mate - and ahead of him in the world championship standings.
VR46 is tipped to capitalising on Pramac’s predicted switch to Yamaha by forging closer ties with🧸 Ducati next year.
And if Pramac joins Yamaha, VR46 might still have one Academy rider for 2025 🌸in the form of Mꦆorbidelli.
