FrancoMorbidelli

Franco Morbidelli's MotoGP bike carries 21, and the discipline he races in is decided by corner exit speed, rear grip in the closing laps and patience under braking. Track position is everything: overtaking costs time, so a strong qualifying lap and a clean opening corner carry unusual weight. Race distance, more than a single fast lap, exposes anyone who cannot look after a tyre.

He now lines up for Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team in the 2026 MotoGP season, an Italian rider in an Italian-run squad. Earlier campaigns took him through Marc VDS Racing Team, Sepang Racing Team and Pramac Racing. His MotoGP tally reads 142 starts and three wins, and no title sits alongside them.
