"The journey continues. Franco Morbidelli will wear the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team until 2026," MotoGP wrote on their official website.

In addition, he is also on the Sprint Race podium in Qatar and Hungary. Morbidelli's contract extension automatically made the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team line-up in the competition season next year complete.
"My love for this team is very deep. I feel very comfortable here and have an extraordinary relationship with every team member," said Morbidelli.
Morbidelli is the first rider in the VR46 Riders Academy. He is also the first driver of the project to successfully win the World Championship title in Moto2 in 2017.
"Franco has been part of the VR46 Riders Academy from the start. Seeing it wearing the color of the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team team has a special meaning for us, it feels like it's back to the start," said VR46 Director Alessio Salucci.
Morbidelli is currently sixth in the MotoGP 2025 standings. He has so far managed to collect 161 points from the 14 series that have been going on.
