VR46 Appears In Red And White Spots At The Mandalika MotoGP

JAKARTA The motorbike from the Pertamina Enduro VR46 racing team belonging to the Italian legend, Valentino Rossi, will appear in a red-and-white style at the 2024 Mandalika MotoGP.

The series of races above the 4.3 kilometer long track will begin on Friday, September 27, 2024, and the peak will take place on Sunday, September 29, 2024.

Two drivers from the team, Marco Bezzecchi and Fabio Di Giannantonio, appeared with this special pattern as a form of respect for their partner, Pertamina, who came from Indonesia.

"I am very proud today to be able to introduce Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team's latest livery," said Pertamina President Director Riva Siahaan, in a statement received.

The combination of red and white color is very dominant in the face, fairing, and tank. Meanwhile, the middle to back uses black.

In addition to motorbikes, the wearpack or uniform to be worn by Bezzecchi and Di Giannantonio is also dominated by the same color. There is also a little black color especially on the legs.

Pertamina Enduro's Ducati Desmodedici GP23 used to appear in stable yellow, aka fluo, combined with white. Yellow is an option because it is Rossi's favorite color.

"This is a symbol of the dynamic synergy and shared aspirations between Pertamina and the VR46 team. We continue to push for performance limits, printing new standards for the landscape of Indonesian motorcyclesports and the world," said Riva.

MotoGP Mandalika 2024 is the 15th series of the season. Of that number of series, Bezzecchi and Di Giannantonio are still ranked 10th and 11th in the drivers' standings.
