Ahead of the Italian Grand Prix, Valentino Rossi showed off the VR46 Racing Team's new look for the Grand Prix on Sunday.
The Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team have unveiled their new look for the 2025 Italian Grand Prix at Mugello.
Italian riders Franco Morbidelli and Fabio di Giannantonio will race the new look Ducati at their home race on Sunday.
The purple and light blue colours, unveiled on Thursday morning, are based on the latest album by Italian singer Cesare Cremonini, a close friend of Valentino Rossi.
"20 years ago, we met after a concert and from that moment we became closer and closer friends," explained VR46 Team Owner Rossi.
"He’s a rockstar, one of the most important singers in Italy, so we wanted to do something together.
“Music and MotoGP are pure emotion; they excite millions.
"Together with Aldo Drudi, we started to think about how to put the graphics of his latest album on the MotoGP bike.
"It was not easy at all. However, we made a great work with Aldo and, for me, the bike is beautiful."
Cremonini added: "We united music and motorsport in a shared dream. This project is like a hug between friends who share the same passion.
"I love motorbike races, and Vale loves every kind of music.
"I can’t wait to see it on my stage, displayed like a trophy at the Renato Dall'Ara stadium, but especially on the grid on the track on Sunday at Mugello."
"Valentino and the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team give us the chance to have this livery," Morbidelli said.
"Then it’s our turn, as riders, to try to do a great job to take these wonderful colours where they deserve to stay, as high as possible."
Di Giannantonio concluded: "I am very proud of this special livery, because we have amazing colours that will give us an extra motivation.
"The goal is to fight for the podium and to have fun, it would be great to be able to celebrate with these colours."
