The VR46 Academy is a story that has generated success, so much so that it has exceeded all the expectations of its founder Valentino Rossi. The symbol of a success which was already recognized before him is a Pecco Bagnaia who brought back to Ducati, and by a detour also to Tavullia, the crown of the World Champion of the premier category, MotoGP. Enough to encourage even more vocations. Especially since, to access the courses, it is apparently free…
To enter a successful sector and benefit from all its infrastructure and human potential in terms of training, it is generally necessary to first align the currency. But if we believe the site Tutomotoriweb, this is not exactly the case with the VR46 Académie…
Before understanding the ecosystem set up in Tavullia, we will recall that the students Franco Morbidelli et Pecco Bagnaia have won three world titles, two in Moto2 and one in MotoGP. The training program involves working directly with Valentino Rossi on the track, but not only that, since we also benefit from the experience of several drivers experienced in the different categories of the world championship. Marco Bezzecchi is from the last promotion to assert itself at the highest level. The Italian is preparing for his second season in the premier class after winning races in Moto3 and Moto2. And this year he got on the podium, as a rookie, in MotoGP.
10% of the annual income of member pilots is paid to the VR46 Academy
For the rest, Celestine Vietti started to shine in a Moto2 where Luca marini fought for the title in 2020, which determines their championship pedigree. But in a sport as expensive as motorcycling, it would be normal for the entrance fees to the famous academy to be high… but that is not the case.
At least to participate, because no funds are required. According to Tutomotoriweb, no payment is required to integrate the structure. However, the agreement between the pilots and the academy provides, according to the publication, that when the pilots start earning at least 50 euros per year, they will pay 10% of their annual income to the academy. This is called return on investment.
