VR46 Goes Dark: The 2026 “Black and Light” Reveal
Valentino Rossi has officially ditched the white for a “more aggressive” Black and Light livery for the 2026 season. Here is the lowdown on the Pertamina Enduro VR46 squad:
- The Look: Fluorescent yellow meets a sleek black base. Why? Rossi says it looks faster—and his mechanics are thrilled they don’t have to scrub white fairings anymore.
- The Riders: Fabio di Giannantonio (coming off a career-best 6th in the 2025 standings) and Franco Morbidelli.
- The Hardware: “Diggia” gets the latest factory-spec Ducati, while Morbidelli sticks with the year-old satellite machine.
- The Mission: End the win drought. Despite their factory status, VR46 was the only Ducati team without a victory last year.
Stat to Watch: VR46 turned down a second factory bike for 2026, which went to Alex Marquez at Gresini. It’s a bold gamble to prove they can win on their own terms.
