JAKARTA - VR46 Racing Team, the racing team owned by Valentino Rossi, is very open to the possibility of pursuing Pedro Acosta to fill their squad composition in the MotoGP race next year.
The issue of driver transfers will be one of the important topics in this season's calendar because the majority of drivers' contracts with their teams will expire.
VR46 are open to updating their squad composition, especially Acosta who continues to be associated with them.
Team Director VR46, Alessio Salucci, admitted that Acosta is one of the best talents in MotoGP at the moment. He assessed the Spanish rider as one of the rare ones.
"If there is an opportunity (to recruit him) this year, why not? I really like Pedro (Acosta)," said Salucci as reported by Crash.
Pedro Acosta, who is 21 years old, had previously had talks with the VR46 Racing Team last year. However, he eventually decided to stay with KTM.
However, the possibility of moving to the team owned by the Italian legend next season is very open because his contract also ends at the end of the 2026 season.
Salucci said that the effort to get Pedro Acosta's signature does not seem to be going smoothly. This is because there is a possibility that other teams also want his services.
"Last year, we talked because there was a small chance. We chatted, but I knew it would be very difficult. (So) we have to be careful and ready for any possibility," said Salucci.
In addition to being associated with Pedro Acosta, the VR46 team is also shrouded in the issue of changing manufacturers in the coming year. They are said to be leaving Ducati and joining Aprilia.
