Yamaha have said goodbye to Valenti♛no Rossi’s clothing line ♚in 2025.

It is a small separation from t🌺he MotoGP legend who is synon🉐ymous with the motorcycle manufacturer from his heyday.

Until this year, Yamaha’s MotoGP team wore clothing manufactur🐲ed by Ros𒈔si’s VR46 brand.

But this year Yamaha have announced a new 🅷deal with Italian brand Macron to make the▨ir official clothing.

It was put to Yamaha🔜 team manager Maio Meregalli that 🔯they “seem to be cutting ties with the past”.

But Meregalli told : “It is a consequenc💎e, but not because of the clothing.

“Because the negotiations with the new supplier s⭕tarted much earl🥀ier.”

Rossi’💖s VR46 and Yamaha will also no longer collaborate ove🐼r the Moto2 team.

Pramac, w🗹ho are swapping Ducati for Yamaha, will manage the manufacturer’s Moto2 efforts.

“The Moto2 was run by🐷 a division of Yamaha that was not the one that🔴 was in charge of MotoGP and was then given to VR46,” Meregalli explained.

“Right now there has been a change of gear.

“The MotoGP structure will be r☂unning it, and it🔯 will be entrusted to Pramac.”

Rossi’s personal as🍬sociation with Yamaha wiꦺll continue as an official ambassador.

However, his VR4🗹6 MotoGP team have strengthened their tieꦦs to Ducati.

This year, due to Pramac’s exit intꩲo the welcoming arms of Yamaha, VR46 are the benef💯iciaries.

VR46 will become Ducati’s mꦜ🅘ain satellite team and will, as a result, have one factory-spec bike at their disposal this year.

Fabio 🌺di Giannantonio will ride the same machinery as factory riders Marc Marquez and Pecco✤ Bagnaia.
