VR46 Racing Team MotoGP 2027: Aldeguer and Bulega from the Heart of Tavullia

The VR46 Racing Team, racing as Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing, is built around the Italian town of Tavullia and runs Ducati machinery. For 2027 the confirmed riders are Fermin Aldeguer and Nicolo Bulega. Here is what to know about the team, the new rules and how to see it live.

VR46 Racing Team MotoGP 2027: the Tavullia squad

The VR46 Racing Team competes under the name Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing and is based in Tavullia, Italy. The team is closely associated with Valentino Rossi and the area where he grew up, which gives it a strong identity among fans.

It is not a factory outfit. VR46 races Ducati motorcycles, so its technical level depends on the package supplied by Borgo Panigale.

What the 2027 rules mean for the VR46 Racing Team

The 2027 rulebook cuts engines to 850 cc with a 75 mm bore and fuel tanks to 20 litres. Fuel will be 100% sustainable, ride-height devices will be banned and Pirelli will supply every team until 2031. A new Sprint qualifying weekend format completes the picture.

Rule resets can shuffle the order, and independent teams often benefit from a clean slate. The first signals will come from the Valencia test on 1 December 2026 and the Sepang test on 31 January and 1 February 2027.

Seeing the VR46 Racing Team live in 2027

The 22-round calendar is described as provisional. Italian fans may focus on the rounds in their own country, because the VR46 Racing Team has a loyal local following, but the team races at every stop of the season.
