“Being part of the Riders Academy with the greatest rider in history is truly amazing fortune, especially if your dream is to become a rider. The Riders Academy is another great gesture of love Vale shows towards motorcycling. It allows young riders to pursue their dreams and perhaps one day compete in the world championship and fight for victory, entertaining all Italian motorbike enthusiasts and beyond.

I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of this group, and I am confident that many more great achievements, thrilling races, boundary-pushing overtakes, and much more amazing motorcycling, along with the dreams of both younger and older riders, will be fulfilled by the VR46 Riders Academy."
