Things are accelerating for Valentino Rossi and Saudi Arabia for a joint MotoGP adventure. By that, mean that the Doctor found the budget to give his VR46 troops an epic experience in the major Grand Prix category. Here's what's going to happen...
The team VR46 now has the means to officially launch into MotoGP. The team of Valentino Rossi has in fact overcome the main obstacle which stood in the way of its entry into the category and which was of an economic nature. Next season, the colors dear to the Doctor will be on the starting grid.
The arrival of a sponsor who will cover the enormous costs of the project is certain. The current partner of the Tavullia structure, the satellite television channel Sky, will no longer be involved, but the national oil company ofSaudi Arabia, Aramco, will ensure the succession.
The two parties officially announced the completion of the sponsorship agreement, valid for the next four years. THE Aramco Racing Team VR46 was born and will be part of the MotoGP squad from 2022.
The press release speaks of a “ large-scale partnership between Tanal Entertainment Sport & Media and VR46 Team which aims to communicate important projects ».
Rossi and the VR46 must now find a manufacturer
Having solved the economic problem, it now remains to sign the contract with a manufacturer to guarantee the satellite motorcycles with which his academicians, or even himself, will participate in the upcoming championship.
On this point, we will recall that Yamaha is still negotiating with Petronas to continue the collaboration. We also know that Ducati wants to stay with six bikes, and that the current GP19 rookies bastianini et Marini are already in the Avintia team which will serve as a basic structure in the new adventure of the VR46. There is also Aprilia which is openly looking for a team that will be allied to its factory structure currently being considered. As for Suzuki, there is radio silence on the case of a second GSX-RR team. So many names that can now be approached with the assurance of having a substantial budget for future operations. Which also means a lot of consideration...
Tanal Entertainment Sport & Media, the holding company of HRH Prince Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al Saud, is pleased to announce an important strategic agreement with Team VR46, Valentino Rossi's company, for the near future of Moto GP.
In 2022, the VR46 Team will debut in the MotoGP category with Tanal Entertainment Sport & Media and Saudi Aramco, as the new main sponsor for the period 2022-2026: on the track, the new ARAMCO Racing Team VR46 with the support of other important sponsors on the world stage.
