Fabio di Giannantonio and Franco Morbidelli have unveiled VR46’s latest colours for the start of its new era as Ducati’s official satellite MotoGP team.
VR46 showcased the livery of its 2025 MotoGP bikes at a special launch in Jakarta on Saturday.
The team owned by MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi will switch to a fluorescent yellow-and-white colour scheme, an evolution of the design it first adopted last year.
Both Fabio di Giannantonio and new signing Franco Morbidelli flew down to Indonesia for the presentation ceremony, as VR46 capitalised on the rising popularity of MotoGP in South East Asia.
Di Giannantonio and Morbidelli will ride road-going Ducati bikes at the Mandalika Circuit next week to get acclimated to the hot weather in the region before taking part in the official pre-season test in Malaysia on 5-7 November. You can find the whole MotoGP testing calendar here.

Rossi himself was absent from the launch but revealed details of the new livery in a pre-recorded video message.
The Italian addressed the launch via a video message: “This year’s livery will follow the same concept but with some changes that are so special to me. I hope you like it as much as I do.”
The upcoming MotoGP sees VR46 become the primary satellite team for Ducati, with Pramac having ended a 20-year relationship to join forces with Yamaha.
The upgrade in Ducati status means di Giannantonio will spend his second VR46 campaign on a factory-spec Desmosedici GP25, equal to official team riders Francesco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez.
The 26-year-old’s speed and consistency last season impressed the top brass at Ducati, which signed him directly to its rider roster.
Morbidelli, team-mate to world champion Jorge Martin at Pramac last season, finally joins the VR46 race team after sliding across to replace Aprilia-bound Marco Bezzecchi.
The former Petronas Yamaha title runner-up will remain on the GP24 he raced last year.
