The soap opera continues between Rossi's VR46 brand and a Saudi prince who wanted to be reassuring on August 20 about his good intentions and his real ambition to invest in MotoGP via the icon Valentino Rossi. The official announcements under government seal were to arrive this Wednesday at the same time as the first payments of a substantial sum of 18 million euros. The deadline has passed and in Tavullia, we still don't see anything coming. We will have to review our plans…
The information comes from GP One and it boils down to the fact that the Saudi prince is a mirage whose plans are built on sand. The specter of masquerade already advanced is coming back in force even if, once again, we comment on the side Tanal, the economic structure in question, that we must remain patient. But the days go by and prepare for 2022 in MotoGP, is to act already now. The VR46, to have its Ducati, must regain the initiative.
Rossi's men put plan B into action
Prince Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al Saud is no longer on the airwaves. No official announcement has arrived and we don't even know when they are expected anymore. Turning to Tanal Entertainmente Sports & Media, we are no further ahead. At Aramco, we remain in denial. The 18 million dollars per season for 5 years and the bank guarantee in favor of VR46 remain words.
The VR46 nevertheless acts and puts in place its plan B made up of loyal investors who will still allow it to hold its place in MotoGP. With what level of evolution of the Ducati, that is the question. But we have to take the initiative again because one of the supports, in this case WithU, is also announced by Razlan Razali, who will lose Petronas at the end of this season... More in the next issue. This weekend is the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
