VR46 unveils its 2026 colors in Rome

This Wednesday, January 14th, VR46 kicked off its 2026 season in Rome. For this new campaign in MotoGP, the team of Valentino Rossi has not dishonored the tradition of sporting yellow liveries for the past few years.

This season, the regular riders for Ducati's satellite team will remain the same. Franco Morbidelli and Fabio Di Giannantonio will retain their positions. After a long winter break, Morbidelli has recovered from his broken hand, sustained at the Valencia Grand Prix. I know this motorcycle. he confided on stage during the presentation. But when I saw her again this year, I immediately saw more aggression. I like her a lot.

Alongside the Italian, who will ride the Desmosedici GP25 this year, Fabio Di Giannantonio will have the official Borgo Panigale equipment, namely the GP26. He will therefore be one of four to ride this machine for the Bologna-based manufacturer, along with factory riders Marc Márquez and Pecco Bagnaia, as well as Gresini rider Alex Márquez.

"It's an incredible motorcycle," he confided after his teammate. The livery is great, it's aggressive. When we did the photoshoot and I saw the bike for the first time, I got goosebumps. I can't wait to see the complete package on the track, with the suit, the helmets, and in a race. I can't wait to get started.

And Valentino Rossi, present in Italy to kick off his team's season, concluded: “We wanted to create our own identity, so that our bikes would stand out on the grid. This year, they are even more beautiful.”"This is the third year we've used a lot of yellow, which is our color. The color of my story. For the last two years, we'd used white with yellow. We wanted something different. Something more aggressive."
