Luca Marini and the Mooney VR46 Racing Team will be together again for 2024. It  was a choice of continuity for Luca, being on the Tavullia team for over six years, and the first rider to have worn the VR46 colors in MotoGP in 2021.

Staying in the Mooney VR46 Racing Team, also for 2024, is a matter of trust for me towards a very close-knit working group, with whom I feel very good, and who has believed in me for many years,” Marini said. “As a team, we’ll do everything to achieve our goals over the next season. Not only Vale, Uccio, and Pablo, whom I thank. But, above all, the entire technical team that supports me and Ducati. Being among the protagonists of 2024, fighting for the championship as a rider, and as a team, is definitely a true ambition.”

Team Director Alessio “Uccio” Salucci added: “I’m very pleased to be able to confirm that Luca will remain with us in 2024. It’ll be the seventh season with the team, and this is a really meaningful recognition of trust for all of us and all of our partners who support the project. Confirming a growing team, with the support of Ducati, is an important asset. Luca is a hard worker, always precise, focused on details, and this is a real plus in today’s MotoGP. Fast, constant, and very solid. I think he has collected less than he deserved so far, and I hope he can meet his goals in the remaining races and in the future.”

The 2024 line-up of our team is complete, and I’m very happy to have confirmed both riders,” Tteam Manager Pablo Nieto said. “The extension of Luca’s contract for another year means a great boost of confidence for everyone on the team. A solid working group, with Ducati’s support, created two years ago,and  thanks to everyone’s commitment, including our partners, is achieving ambitious results. Luca is an assurance for the MotoGP Championship, always consistently among the first, and I'm sure he’ll be able to meet his goals in the future.
