VR46 Racing has officially launched its 2024 MotoGP World Championship campaign bearing a fresh look courtesy of new title sponsor Pertamina and a revised rider line-up of Marco Bezzecchi and Fabio di Giannantonio.

The Italian outfit - founded and owned by nine-time Grand Prix World Champion Valentino Rossi - enters into its third season in MotoGP looking to build on a strong 2023 campaign that saw Bezzecchi blossom into a title contender en route to third in the overall standings.

He stays on board this season - despite a tempting offer to join Pramac Racing for the chance to ride its 2024-spec Ducati GP24 - and will be joined by new team-mate di Giannantonio, who switches from Gresini Racing after a strong end to his 2023 campaign that yielded a maiden victory in Qatar.

For 2024, VR46 Racing sports a new look after ending its association with Mooney and taking up a new deal with Indonesian oil giants Pertamina, which lend its branding and prompts a chance of colour from yellow and black to yellow and white.
