Giannantonio commented: "This is my third year with the Pertamina Endeuro VR46 Racing Team and I am very happy to start my third season with the new livery. The brighter yellow and black combination is great this year and we expect to have some great races as we finished the 2025 season. I hope to grow a lot throughout this season and compete at the top. It is really special to start with the same team. I feel great and can't wait to get on track." The new livery is great. The new livery is great, the black and yellow is just VR style. It reminds me of Valentino Rossi's helmet and it looks more aggressive and racey, which really suits me."

Comments from Franco Morbidelli

I am really excited about my second season. I can't wait for the season to start. We have one more year of experience together. We have one more year of experience together and I am sure it will be good. We will speed up some of the processes that will take place over the weekend and I have a lot of faith in the crew and the team as a whole. Last year was good, especially in the first half of the season, but there are a few things we need to improve on. There were good results, great results, and bad results. There are things we need to improve on, but we are working on them. We are working on this together and I am looking forward to the start of the season.

The bike is beautiful. The bike is beautiful, I really like the color yellow. I really like the color yellow, it's a color I really like and it's a color I've always been familiar with. I really like it. It is the very soul of the bike. But the bike's character is expressed by the black around the fuel tank, a true racing color combination. This livery will make me faster on the track."

Valentino Rossi, Team Owner

We are ready. We are very optimistic and our goal is to do better than last year. Last year was a season of ups and downs. In MotoGP™, it is very difficult for any team to be at the top every weekend, so that will be our goal this year. We will always strive to improve and be competitive in every situation."

We've made changes this year. This is a project I have been working on with Aldo Doldi for three seasons now. In the beginning we started to change the image a bit; three years ago we went with yellow bikes with white. Last year we decided to continue with that, but this year we wanted to change it up a bit. We decided to keep our color yellow, but add black, which is more of a racing color, and go back to a more classic color scheme. Now, we are all ready to go. The bike is really beautiful. Now all we have to do is go fast."
