VR46 team boss Pablo Nieto says his outfit is not under more pressure to perform following💧 Pramac’s 2024 title ไwin because it represents MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi.

Pramac made history last year when it won the MotoGP world title with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin🌟, making it the first satellite team to do so in the ♔modern era.

Forging close ties with Ducati in recent years, Pramac had machine parity with 🥂the factory squad as well as full technical support.

That has passed to the VR46 team this year, with Fabio Di Giannantonio’s side of the garage running a works-spec🌠 GP25.

VR46 has won grands prix already in its short time on theꦰ grid as a Ducati satellite partner, though hasn🐬’t done so since 2023.

Given the s♉upport most sateಌllite teams receive now from their factories coupled with Pramac’s title win last year, expectations have been raised for independent squads.

But Nieto d🐼oesn’t feel this has passed to the VR46 team, noting that its pressure🌜 has been there since its Moto3 days because of its association with nine-time world champion Valentino Rossi.

“No, I think the pressure we have we’ve had since we were in Moto3,” Nieto told ltxcn.top in an exclusive interview when asked if Pramac’s 2024 campaign had raised expectations for his🎃 team.

“We are VR46, so in the end when you 𓂃are taking care about that name the pressure we already have it.

“So, that’s very important. For us, if you don’t have any pressure, 🌜that means that nobody cares about you.

“So, it’s important to get that kind of pressure because it means that a lot of people are caring about us, are watching us, are looking at what we are doing and we are here to have that responsibility to do s💙omething important.”

VR46 has enjoyed a solid start to the 2025 campaign, with it third in the teams’ standings after seven rounds having scored five podiums across grands pri🃏x and sprints.

Franco Morbidelli is fourth in the rider points, with Fabio 🍨Di Giannantonio 10 points adrift in sixth.

Nieto is pleased with 🀅what he has seen s🌼o far, but believes the team is “missing” something to be a regular podium contender.

“It was not so bad,” he added.

“In the end, we are fourt♏h and sixth in the championship. So, we are happy but always you want more ꩲand more.

“Thꦏat’s normal. In the end, I thin🙈k we have the best bike that we’ve had in MotoGP.

“We have big support from Ducati, so that’s also very important for us. And we have to work a lജittle bit,𓆏 not better - because we are working very good.

“But we have to try s🐼omething a little bitജ that we are missing to fight for the podium in every race.

“I think we have the pote꧒ntial to do it. I think you have to put everything together.

“Sometimes you are mജissing some luck or we are making some mistakes, ♓or some crashes. But this is the sport.”
