With 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Luca Marini now at Repsol Honda and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marco Bezzecchi joining Aprilia next season, VR46 has again achieved its goal of placing young riders in factory MotoGP teams.

Indeed, by next season, all four VR46 Academy riders currently in MotoGP will have raced for official teams, with reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia at Ducati and Franco Morbide🍒lli spending two years at Yamaha before switching to Pramac.

💫But with Marini and now Bezzecchi flying the nest, and no other young Academy talents ready to join MotoGP, where does that leave the VR46 tea𝔉m?

Di𓂃rector Alessio Salucci described Bezzecchi’s Aprilia deal, negotiated in-house by the VR46 Academy, as:

“A bittersweet moment... On the one hand, we can only be happy to h🅠ave played an important role in the jump of a young rider from the VR46 Riders Academy to an official structure.

“On the other, after five seasons, our relationship wiꦉth Marco is truly special, familiar, we have shared many beautiful moments together and many of the successes in our historyꦓ are linked to his name.”

Rather than a case of ‘ౠmission accomplished’, Salucci made clear that🎐 the team’s goals are onwards and upwards for the post-Bezzecchi era.

“As a team, this [B🔜ezzecchi Aprilia deal] is a [proud moment] and extra motivation for us to continue in this direction, to create a model to repeat, to always aim high and to consolidate ourselves as a reference structure in the championship,” he said.

“About Marco, beyondﷺ the great ⛦results, we will remember the many moments shared on and off the track.

“As Pertamina Enduro VR46 R♛acing Team we can do nothing more than hope for him a future full of successes and satisfactions. Until Valencia, we will continue to work without leaving any💎thing to chance for reaching ambitious goals together.”

Fellow Italian Fabio di Giannantonio, 𒀰who is not a member of the VR46 Academy, is currently Bezzecchi’s team-mate - and ahead of him in the world 🦄championship standings.

VR46 is tippe🐭d to capitalising on Pramac’s predicted switch to Yamaha by forging closer ties with Ducati next year.

And if Pramac joins ⭕Yamaha, VR46 mightꦗ still have one Academy rider for 2025 in the form of Morbidelli.
