Ducati test rider Michele Pirro will take the reins of the GP23 MotoGP bike for the season finale at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

Iannone’s MotoGP career ended on a low note after he tested positive for Drostanolone following the 2019 Malaysian GP, resulting in an 18-month ban that damaged his reputation. Now, he’s set to make a comeback, joining the VR46 team for his return to the sport.

The multi-year agreement grants Valentino Rossi’s VR46 MotoGP team access to the latest Ducati Desmosedici GP motorcycle and comprehensive technical support from Ducati.

The VR46 Racing Team has started to disclose details about its collaboration with Indonesian sponsors, particularly Pertamina Enduro, for the MotoGP 2024 season.

Mooney VR46 rider Marco Bezzecchi created history when he won the first Grand Prix of India at Greater Noida's Buddh International Circuit. Jorge Martin of Ducati finished in second, just edging out Fabio Quartararo of Yamaha for the podium.

Pole position for the maiden Indian Grand Prix went to VR46 Ducati MotoGP rider Marco Bezzecchi, who finished ahead of Pramac's Jorge Martin by just 0.043 seconds. Francesco Bagnaia, the reigning world champion, completed the front row for the factory Ducati team despite a rough Friday.

Yamaha is certain that Valentino Rossi and the VR46 team will move to their bike if it is competitive enough. The Mooney VR46 team has had a fantastic year with Ducati bikes, and this weekend's Austrian MotoGP is an ideal chance to continue that trend.
