VR46 unveils bold U.S. GP livery from New York Skyline

The Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team has introduced a special livery for the United States Grand Prix, revealing it high above Manhattan at the Edge in Hudson Yards. Fabio Di Giannantonio and Franco Morbidelli showcased the one‑off design ahead of their race in Austin, marking the first time a MotoGP bike has ever been presented in New York City. Embracing the American spirit, the riders also attended the NBA clash between the New York Knicks and the New Orleans Pelicans, adding further visibility to the occasion.

Created by Aldo Drudi of Drudi Performance, the livery transforms the team’s story into a vivid Pop Art tableau. Valentino Rossi, team founder, and long‑time collaborator Alessio “Uccio” Salucci appear in stylised comic‑book form, surrounded by an explosion of colours dominated by fluorescent yellow. U.S. symbols, including the national flag and Austin’s iconic tower, complete a design that places the riders at the centre of a vibrant, celebratory narrative.
