Sky Racing Team: VR46 reveals Moto2, Moto3 colours
The Sky Racing Team VR46 squad has officially revealed its Moto2 and Moto3 colours for the 2020 season.
With a tweaked rider line-up of Marco Bezzecchi joining Luca Marini in the Moto2 squad while Celestino Vietti is partnered by Andrea Migno in its Moto3 squad, the team was unveiled at a presentation hosted at the Tavuilla Motor Ranch.
Valentino Rossi was not present at the launch, as he continues preparations for pre-season testing at Sepang next month, with the presentation headed by team manager Pablo Nieto and the chief of the VR46 riders’ academy Uccio Salucci.
The Sky Racing Team VR46 squad retains its familiar blue and black colour scheme while also welcoming a more prominent Monster Energy sponsorship logo and new sponsor WithU.
Entering the second season of the Triumph Moto2 engine era, the Italian squad sticks with Kalex as its chassis manufacturer as it aims to regain the world title it secured with Francesco Bagnaia back in 2018.

It could prove a pivotal year for Marini, who begins his fifth season in the intermediate class, as he looks to make the move up to MotoGP where he could join his half-brother Rossi if the 40-year-old decides to continue racing into 2021.
Marini is joined by Bezzecchi for the upcoming season as the Italian looks to build on a difficult rookie Moto2 campaign with the Red Bull KTM Tech3 squad.
Sky Racing Team VR46 welcomes back Migno to its Moto3 fold having had the Italian part of its rider line-up between 2015 to 2017. He partners Vietti ahead of his second full campaign in Moto3 after an impressive 2019 which saw him secure the top rookie honour.
