The team presented its drivers and new colors in Milan.
It has now become a habit: every year, before officially starting the winter break, the Sky Racing Team VR46 takes advantage of the final of the famous X Factor show to present its new liveries for next season. For once, the drivers and their team manager were in Milan last night to do this.
After a successful 2018 with a World Champion title, nine victories, seven pole positions and four different drivers on the podium, the team, born from the collaboration between Sky and VR46 to bring out young Italian talents, will continue its momentum in 2019 with four machines on track. In Moto2, Luca Marini will be joined by Nicholas Bulega and both will ride on Kalex, while in Moto3 Celestino Vietti Ramus will ride alongside Dennis Foggia on KTM. For his part, Francesco Bagnaia will be the first rider from the team to move up to MotoGP within the Ducati Alma Pramac Racing team.
Note that apart from Marini who will keep their number 10, all the others will change theirs compared to this year: Open up will wear the 11, Foggia on the 7th and Vietti Ramus the 13.
All four were present last night alongside the reigning Moto2 World Champion, bagnaia, and the team manager, Pablo Nieto. The public was able to discover the team's famous new colors. If these remain mainly blue and black, a new touch of gray adorns the entire top of the machines as well as the suits, but we will only discover the latter next year. In addition, the chrome blue brings a little freshness to this very recognizable look on the track.
The team will once again be supported by its main sponsor, Oakley, as well as DELLORTO, Eni, I-Ride, Monster Energy, Dainese and AGV.
