VR46 has shifted gears
Ducati in this 2026 has an official bike entrusted to the VR46 team (Fabio Di Giannantonio’s) and one entrusted to the Gresini team (Fermin Aldeguer’s). In 2027, the historic agreement with the Pramac team could be reformed, which received two official satellite bikes to be entrusted to riders who then, in most cases, moved to the Borgo Panigale factory team (Andrea Iannone, Danilo Petrucci, Jack Miller and Francesco Bagnaia have all followed this path).
In 2027, a particularly close synergy could once again be created between Ducati and a satellite team, and all signs point to the VR46 team, which can count on the generous Indonesian sponsor Pertamina.

We are interested, he is a fantastic rider that we like, he is 21 years old but is already a top rider with experience.”
