Valentino Rossi's VR46 Moto3 Team Gets SkyTV Sponsorship

Valentino Rossi Runs the VR46 Moto3 Team 1 photo
Rumored and veiled in uncertainty, the VR46 Moto3 team is indeed real. Even more, Valentino Rossi's new racing expansion has managed to attract a very nice sponsorship, coming from SkyTV.
Info Moto GP informs us that the VR46 riders for the 2014 season will be, as rumored, Romano Fenati and Vale's half brother Luca Marini, both riding KTM bikes with significant real estate reserved for SkyTV. It also appears that SkyTV also earned the broadcast rights for MotoGP for the next 5 years starting from 2014.

Paddock whispers see Italian Motorcycle Federation team manager Alfredo Mastropasca making a move to coordinate the VR46 squadra. With such background, we'd like to see VR46 making it to MotoGP's premiere class in several years' time.
