Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team extends factory-supported deal with Ducati

It is official: the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team and Ducati are staying together, securing their future as a Factory Supported Team partnership through the 2029 MotoGP campaign. This agreement locks in Valentino Rossi’s squad alongside the Borgo Panigale manufacturer well into the next era of technical regulations, cementing a bond that has proven to be a force in the paddock since it began in 2022.

Since its inception, the team has been a benchmark, racking up 4 victories, 16 podiums, and 1792 points in the Constructors' Championship. As they head into the next phase of this project, the garage remains unchanged: they will continue to field two Ducati Desmosedici GP machines, consisting of one factory-spec bike with full season updates and one standard-spec bike, all backed by Ducati technical staff.

Team Director Alessio Salucci captured the mood perfectly, noting that confirming this role is even more meaningful than the initial agreement. With the 2027 technical changes on the horizon, the team is clearly positioning itself to chase even bigger goals. It is a stunning display of consistency that shows just how high the stakes—and the ambitions—have become for this all-Italian alliance.
