Tebaldi : Right now we're not planning to field a VR46 team in MotoGP

Tech3 announcement to have separate ways from Yamaha in 2019 is a big news today. And it raised up speculation about VR46 Team as new Yamaha Satellite team. But ayank bebeb #Mbak_Yu ❤@valeyellow46's close friend answer the speculation.


"VR46 is already involved in MotoGP, with Valentino and the factory Yamaha team. It's difficult to want any more”, Alberto Tebaldi, VR46 manager and Rossi's right-hand man said in GPOne.

“Of course the news that Tech3 and Yamaha will part ways has generated a fuss around us and has also led to a lot of fake news - he continues - Right now we're not planning to field a team in MotoGP”.


“When Valentino decided to leave the bikes, perhaps to race cars, then we'll evaluate the situation. We know the MotoGP well, we know how hard it is and we'll only take that step if we're sure we have everything needed to be able to honour the name we bear. It wouldn't just be about taking part”


“There is precedent yes, but there is no plan to do that, nor the premise. Putting it simply, Yamaha wants Valentino on the factory team and, in turn, Valentino wants to continue to race with that team. He likes to be involved in a company's strategy, in the development of the bike, he loves to talk to the engineers to identify and resolve problems. None of this would be possible in a satellite team ”.


“But I don't deny that we like the idea. MotoGP is a dream for riders and also for those with a team. We could complete the journey that we began with the CEV and, I repeat, once Valentino is no longer a bike rider, we'll think about it. It would be a very complex project, but our boss has taught us to dream”, he concludes with a smile.
