At the Edge at Hudson Yards in New York, Fabio Di Giannantonio and Franco Morbidelli unveiled the special livery they will use on Sunday of the United States GP. It was a special and historic event: for the first time ever, a MotoGP bike was unveiled in the ‘Big Apple’.

The United States GP has always been a unique weekend for the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team, which today unveiled at the Edge at Hudson Yards – one of the most prestigious skyscrapers in New York City – the special livery it will race with at Austin Sunday’s race. This unique day for the Tavullia-based team also represents a historic event: for the first time ever, a MotoGP bike is unveiled in the ‘Big Apple’, right at the top of one of the highest points of the City. Moreover, Fabio Di Giannantonio and Franco Morbidelli will attend the NBA game between New York Knicks and New Orleans Pelicans.

The special livery, conceived designed by Aldo Drudi – Drudi Performance, is the pictorial representation of the history of the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team, his founder Valentino Rossi and Alessio “Uccio” Salucci, his close friend and guide of this project. The livery recalls the Pop Art, and the main characters are part of an explosion of colors, with the fluo yellow as a dominant color. The riders take the central part of the scene and the symbols of the United States, such as the National Flag and the Austin Tower – as a tribute to the Circuit of the Americas – are in the scene too.

The riders will “wear” the livery, because the leathers will have these same special colors for the American weekend. Not only bikes and leathers: the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team will have the special colors on the jersey, a special edition “Pop Art” style that you can purchase on the Kappa Sport and VR46 Tribe websites.
