The Yamaha VR46 Master Camp riders saw a dream come tr♕ue when they got to meet, and ride, with Valentino Rossi at the M🧸isano World Circuit.

After a quick briefing, given by Moto2 star Francesco Bagnaia, the Master Camp s༺tudents had heade𝄹d out on track... but were in for a surprise when Rossi joined the timed session!

"It was fantastic to surprise the Yamaha VR46 Master Camp riders yesterday at the Misano circuit. I wanted t꧟o meet them and see how they were doi🅠ng so far, since we were at the halfway point of the programme," Rossi said.

"I had the opportunity to see them ride for a bit when I was out on track and I was impressed with the speed of the riders. They knew the track already, which wasn't the case for the previous guys, and they also ride YZF-R3 bik🍸es in the WorldSSP300 class, so this made riding in Misano a little bit easier.

"I had a really good time with them and the guys from the VR46 Riders Academy and I hope the Master𝓰 Camp riders enjoyed it too, because ha𒉰ving fun on the bike is very important."

Italy's Alfonso Coppola (19), France's Enzo De La Vega (17), Finland's Kimi Patova (15), Ukraine's Mykyta Kalinin (18), Brazil's Renzo Ferreira (15) and the Ne🍸therlands' Robert Schotman (18) form the latest Master Camp li🍌ne-up.

After the excitement of meeting Rossi in 🐟the morning they spent the afternoon learning about bi⭕ke set-up and suspension, while Yamaha Motor Racing's Managing Director Lin Jarvis gave advice on how to manage and progress in their racing career.

The M🌟aster Camp activities end on Friday. Rossi will be back in MotoGP action at next w꧙eekend's Czech Republic Grand Prix.
