The hypothesis seemed logical. After Moto3 and Moto2, the VR46 Riders Academy should climb the last step of the pinnacle of motorcycle sport by arriving in MotoGP, around the time when its boss Valentino Rossi should retire as a rider...
A large-scale strategy and a well-oiled mechanism in which Yamaha would intervene at the forefront, supplying the MotoGP.
From a logical hypothesis, this idea has therefore passed to the stage of affirmation on the part of a Charles Pernat who, as a former manager of Valentino Rossi, Max Biaggi, Loris Capirossi et Marco Simoncelli, and current agent of Andrea Iannone, knows the mysteries of the paddock well and confided in Sportal.it: »I know Valentino well: his business is motorcycles. The VR46 was not created by chance, its world is there. As long as he can run, he will run, until the last second. Then he will also manage MotoGP, because the VR46 will do Moto3, Moto2 and, when he stops, he already has an agreement with Yamaha to also do MotoGP: it will be a huge team, with the objective of earn.
Valentino does not exist outside of motorcycles and, in my opinion, the test with the Ferrari (F1) in the past was an advertising opportunity. »
