Franco Morbidelli and his dream start with the VR46 Racing Team: here’s all about the preseason of the Italian-Brazilian rider.

Franco Morbidelli, the new rider of the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team, immediately caught attention during the preseason tests. The Italian-Brazilian achieved great results, and on the second day of testing at Sepang, he even set the fastest time among all riders on track.

Today, the Italian-Brazilian rider also tried a long-race simulation, with the lap times recorded leaving him completely satisfied, according to his statement to Sky Sport.
