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.
Despite the absence of Fabio Di Giannantonio, Valentino Rossi’s team, in addition to collecting good results that once again highlight the power of the GP24 engine, was able to gather a lot of data with the sole assistance of Franco Morbidelli.
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.

At the end of the final day of testing in Buriram, Franco Morbidelli spoke to SkySport about the start of his season. Here is his statement: “It’s been a great preseason, we immediately got into rhythm with the team, we started in the best possible way, and we worked in the most focused and concentrated way to prepare for the Grand Prix. Even today, yes, but in general to prepare for the season. I am very satisfied with the work we’ve done, and I’m happy with the entire team and the whole squad.”
