Pertamina Enduro VR46 is steadily consolidating its presence in MotoGP, now in its fourth season – in which it has strengthened its ties with Ducati, now acting as the main satellite team.
The current contract runs until the end of 2026, and is expected to be extended for another three years. At this point, team manager Uccio Salucci wants the future to remain linked to the Borgo Panigale manufacturer, as he told SPEEDWEEK.com:
– We want to continue! Everything else is not up for discussion at the moment. We have a five-year contract with Ducati: 2025 and 2026, plus three more years until the end of 2029.
Despite the bond with Ducati, VR46 still needs to sign the contract with Dorna for 2027 like all other teams: ‘It’s important to note that teams have contracts with Dorna, and those expire at the end of 2027 and then have to be renewed’, Salucci recalled.
