The 2024 season sees the VR46 team retain their academy star Marco Bezzecchi, who stood out in the team's sophomore campaign, securing three grand prix victories and finishing an impressive third in the riders' standings. Joining him is Fabio Di Giannantonio, who steps in for Luca Marini after the latter moved to Honda on a two-year deal.

 

A notable change for VR46 is the inclusion of Pertamina, Indonesia's state-owned oil and gas corporation, as the new title partner. Pertamina introduces its Pertamina Enduro lubricant brand, being featured in the team's vibrant yellow, white, and red livery unveiled at the launch presentation in Italy.

 

Despite offers for Bezzecchi to race a factory Ducati in Pramac colours, the rider opted to stay with VR46, emphasising his desire to make a leap to a full factory team in the future. As VR46 enters the final year of its current deal with Ducati, there have been ongoing speculations linking the team to Yamaha for 2025, potentially adding two more bikes to Yamaha's lineup.
