The Mot🃏oGP legend struck a deal with the Japanese manufacturer to bring his team under their banner, report.

The deal is a two-year contra♒ct covering 2025 ܫand 2026, and was agreed last week in Qatar.

Next year, VR46 will remain as a Ducati satellite team for the final ye𓂃ar of th💫eir contract with the Italian brand.

But the longer term future for Rossi’𒁃s squad has been speculat💜ed upon all season.

Earlier this year, he became a brand ambassador for Yamaha - the team which reꦕmains synonymous with hi✃s greatest successes.

Yamaha, both this season and in 2024, a💯re the only manufacturer to run just two bikes on the MotoGP grid.

They have been actively seeking a way t꧅o also run a satellite team, and VR46🐟 now appear to fit the bill.

VR46 have also struck a three-year deal with Indonesian oil compa🐠ny Pertamina Lubricants to🍒 become their title sponsor, beginning next season.

This will carry them through t🐻heir reported two💧-year alliance with Yamaha.

One VR46 rider could even receive a facto♛ry-spec bike in 2025 while under the Yamaha umbrella, the report states.

That creates an interesting scena🌃rio for Marco Bezzecchi, in particular.

Although currently the VR46’s year-old Ducatis ൩are more competitive than the Yamaha run by Fabio Quart🔯araro and Franco Morbidelli.

VR46 challenged for 🐻the MotoGP championꦍship via Bezzecchi this season and will hope for another productive year in their current home in 2024 before this mooted significant change.
