MotoGP pre-season preparations for the VR4🐼6 Academy have brouꦡght it to the Mandalika circuit in Indonesia.

The end of the winter break is fast approaching, with theꦯ first test of the year taking place on 5-7 February at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia.

Before that, though, the VR46 Academy has taken to Indonesian GP venue Mandalika to get some tꦑrack bike time ahead of their return to MotoGP action.

The entire VR46 MotoGP stable is in attendance, as well as Moto2 rider Celestino♒ Vietti.

Double MotoGP world champion Francesco Bagnaia is in action on ꦓa Ducati Panigale V4-S, as is VR46 Racing duo Franco Morbidelli and Fabio Di Giannantonio - who is not an Academy member despite riding for Valentino Rossi’s outfit.

This marks Di Giannantonio’s first time 🍬on a bike since ending his 𓆏2024 MotoGP season early to have shoulder on an injured shoulder.

He remains with the VR46 squad for a second season and💎 has secured the third factory GP25 from Duca🦂ti.

Marco Bezzecchi is getting his first taste of the Aprilia ꦕRSV4, while Luca Marini is riding a Honda RC213V-S.

The three-day train🤡ing session has been made possible by the VR46 team’s title partnership with Indonesian oil giant Pertamina.

The VR46 squ🤪ad recently launched its 2025 season in Indonesia, revealing a largely unchanged livery for the year ahead.

It’s been a busy winter for MotoGP riders, with the Aspar circuit in Spain seeing a lot of grand prix stars 👍- including Marc Marquez and Fabio Quartararo - carry out training sessions.

MotoGP track ꦡaction begins this weekend from 31 January to 2 February with the Sepang shakedown for test riders, rookies and concession riders.

This is ꦰfollowed by the official pre-season test at Sepang, before the final test of the winter on 12-13 February in Thailand ahead of the first grand prix of 2025 at Buriram at the end of the month.
