JAKARTA Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team officially became Ducati's main satellite team to replace Pramac Racing starting the 2025 MotoGP racing season.

The collaboration between Valentino Rossi's team and the manufacturer based in Borgo Panigale, Italy, was announced on Friday, August 2, 2024. Both parties are bound in multi-year contracts.

Director of Team Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team, Alessio Salucci, welcomed this collaboration because in just three years since his team's establishment, his team immediately won trust.

"I feel proud to announce that starting next year Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team will become Ducati's main satellite team in MotoGP," said Alessio Salucci.

Ducati gave this trust with the reference of the hard work of the entire technical crew of the Pertamina VR46 Team. One of them is the result of three wins in 2023.

In the garage of Pertamina Enduro VR46, there will be one official motorbike and Ducati Desmosedici GP24 motorcycle. In addition, they will also be supported by new technical staff from Ducati.

"If a few years ago someone said this, I wouldn't believe it. This is a very meaningful moment for the whole team, achieving this result in just three years," said Alessio Salucci.

He further thanked all workers and team partners who supported so that at a young age they immediately collaborated with the top team.

"We are facing challenging years ahead, but we can't wait to test ourselves and try to achieve more ambitious results," Salucci said again.

Pertamina Enduro VR46 in the 2024 season is being strengthened by Fabio Di Giannantonio and Marco Bezzecki. Both are currently in 12th and eighth positions in the standings of interim riders.
