Uccio Salucci is currently very busy. Behind the scenes of the paddock is currently animated by the question of satellite teams in MotoGP from 2022 and at the center of the debates we find the VR46 colors, so dear to Valentino Rossi. The principle of an installation in place of the Avintia brand, with which a joint participation is recorded this year, seemed acquired. But now Vale's lifelong accomplice, in this case Alessio 'Uccio' Salucci, casts doubt...
In 2022, will we have a Valentino Rossi retired as a driver but involved as a team boss under an awning bearing the logo VR46 ? We can also have a Vale still on the track and a team in its colors, like none of that. Indeed, in Portimao, Alessio 'Uccio' Salucci , long-time friend of Valentino and important figure of VR46, explained to Sky Sports the situation of the team from a MotoGP point of view: “ we must decide whether or not to continue this project ».
He adds : " it is essential to have a large budget to guarantee three to five years. At the manufacturer level, we talk a little with everyone, but the internal things must be resolved first ».
Uccio Salucci clarifies that nothing is acquired
Salucci underlines that it is crucial to gather the economic resources necessary to be able to field a MotoGP team. No decision has been made at this time. Discussions continue to find the budget and find the best possible agreement with a manufacturer. For the team VR46, the next few months will be important. The scenario should be clearer by May. It will be recalled that Valentino Rossi had recently commented on a declared interest from Ducati in its academy training the riders of the new generation.
