The Italian factory team will unveil the new bike to be ridden by world champion Marc Marquez and his teammate Francesco 'Pecco' Bagnaia.

Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team, owned by Valentino Rossi, will launch on January 14th in Rome. The team will introduce its two riders, Fabio Di Giannantonio and Franco Morbidelli.
