VR46, possible announcement at Misano but there are worrying rumors!

Yellow Misano

Valentino Rossi does not care about MotoGP.
At least not about the one where he doesn't race, and that's .
After so many years, with a career end certainly not to be remembered, a child on the way and new car racing interests, it is understandable.
Valentino Rossi is a star, certainly not a second level personality capable of adapting to a supporting role.
Valentino Rossi is an athlete, a sportsman, and the fact that he quits MotoGP certainly doesn't mean that he has to stop being a protagonist.
He is on his way to being in cars and whatever else he will do, without necessarily getting tired as in the last 20 years.

Rossi has the press on his side, then he has the fans and has all the deserved attention from a system that has revolved around him for years.
The role of team manager requires work, hours as an entrepreneur, responsibility and a lot of presence behind the scenes. It is not for him and he explicitly stated so.

Everyone who is close to him knows this too. The academy, the ranch and all the young riders he put on the track are something incredible and commendable, initially served to give him stimuli and motivation. Now, however, the whole mechanism must go on alone.
Rossi's is that there are a lot of collaborators who can pick up the toy. The bad luck is that not everyone is able to handle it properly.
The story of Tanal, the Prince, the fake architect, the fantastic cities, and all those sponsors that then vanished, between never completed projects and non-existent companies (it does not matter that the press does not talk about it) are proof of this.
A colossal fool that would have made anyone the funny target of the media. Not Valentino who, after being spared by the press, called himself out and declared that it was not his problem, reproaching those who persisted in insisting on certain issues. Amazing enough for something that still bears his name.
In short, Valentino Rossi is not interested in the future of VR46 after his retirement, Luca Marini included. He did what he could but he can't work miracles.
Rossi has left behind him a structure, a brand, some money, and a signed contract, but someone will have to walk alone and will have to make do.

And if at the end October no official announcement was made, as far as the team is concerned, it means that there are problems.
Seven months have flown by waiting for the Saudis, complete with fairings covered with stickers of non-existent and most likely non-paying companies.
And now its . There is a contract with Ducati but to race the Italian bikes, even two and in the 2021 version, money is required.
The 5 million from Dorna are not enough and without the 90 million of Tanal the matter becomes serious.

The latest news seeing WithU on Yamaha with Razali, is the latest blow.
The energy company puts about 2 million euros and there are no other resources to distribute. No sponsor fragmentation like last year.
For this reason VR46 has to look for other aids. There may be SKY but it is not clear if it is enough.
There are 4 teams to cover. The Moto3 team, the Moto2 team, a second Moto2 team made with Yamaha, and the team of Marini and Bezzecchi.
All interesting projects but Valentino may not even be on the track and has declared his lack of interest and this does not help money collection.
For this reason either Misano will be the site of a definitive announcement of the VR46 or the problem is big.
So big that rumors come from some insiders.
Considering impossible the most daring ones that see Rossi giving up even the MotoGP (two slots have been booked on the grid and the prestige of the VR46 is at stake), there are some that see VR46, given the lack of funds, settle for two second class Ducatis, and others that even see VR46 giving up Ducati in favor of Yamaha.
This would allow Razali to make the leap in quality and VR46 to remain "in the family" with reduced costs.
For Marini and Bezzecchi, certainly not first-class riders, it wouldn't change much, but for those who have to take the money, instead, it would.
With Ezpeletas and a pool of minor sponsors, two Ducatis or two Yamahas can be bought.
We'll see if this weekend brings one of these emergency solutions or VR will be able, as usual, to get the rabbit out of the hat.

In the meantime, the press, like time, forgives everything, without even the time having elapsed. And the Rossi Week End, VR's weekend at home, lends itself extraordinarily to distracting attention, even if sooner or later it will be necessary to face reality.



VR46, possible announcement in Misano but there are worrying rumors!

Yellow Misano

A Valentino Rossi della MotoGP non interessa.
Almeno non di quella in cui lui non corre, ed è normale.
Dopo tanti anni, con un fine carriera non di certo da ricordare, una bambina in arrivo e nuovi interessi automobilistici, è comprensibile.
Valentino Rossi è una star, di certo non una personalità in grado di adattarsi ad un ruolo di comprimario.
Valentino Rossi è un atleta, uno sportivo, e il fatto che smetta con la MotoGP di certo non significa che debba smettere di essere protagonista.
Si avvia ad esserlo nelle auto e in qualsiasi altra cosa farà, senza necessariamente affaticarsi come negli ultimi 20 anni.

Rossi ha la stampa, ha i fans, ha tutta l’attenzione, meritata, di un sistema che da anni ruota intorno a lui.
Il ruolo di team manager prevede lavoro, orari da imprenditore, responsabilità e tanta presenza dietro alle quinte. Non fa per lui e lo ha dichiarato esplicitamente.

Lo sanno anche tutti quelli che gli sono vicino. L’accademy, il ranch e tutti giovani piloti che ha messo in pista sono qualcosa di incredibile ed encomiabile, inizialmente servita per dargli stimoli e motivazioni. Adesso però tutto il meccanismo deve andare avanti da solo.
La fortuna di Rossi è che ci sono un sacco di collaboratori che possono prendere in mano il giocattolo. La sfortuna è che non tutti sono in grado di gestirlo adeguatamente.
La vicenda di Tanal, del Principe, dell’architetto, delle città fantastiche, e di tutti quegli sponsor che poi sono svaniti, fra progetti mai completati ed aziende inesistenti (non importa che la stampa non ne parli) ne sono la dimostrazione.
Una figuraccia colossale che avrebbe reso chiunque lo zimbello dei media. Non Valentino che dopo essere stato risparmiato dalla stampa, si è chiamato fuori e ha dichiarato che non si trattava di un suo problema, rimproverando chi si ostinava ad insistere su certi temi. Abbastanza incredibile per qualcosa che porta comunque il suo nome.
Insomma a Valentino Rossi il futuro della VR46 dopo il suo ritiro, Luca Marini incluso, interessa il giusto. Ha fatto quello che ha potuto ma non può fare miracoli.
Rossi ha lasciato alle sue spalle una struttura, un brand, dei soldi, e un contratto firmato, ma qualcuno dovrà camminare da solo e dovrà arrangiarsi.

E se alla fine del mese di ottobre non è stato fatto nessun annuncio ufficiale, per quanto riguarda il team, vuol dire che ci sono problemi.
Sette mesi sono volati aspettando i Sauditi, con tanto di carene tappezzate di adesivi di aziende inesistenti e molto probabilmente non paganti.
E adesso è tardi. C’è un contratto con Ducati ma per far correre le moto italiane, addirittura due e in versione 2021, servono i soldi.
I 5 milioni di Dorna non bastano e senza i 90 milioni di Tanal la faccenda si fa seria.

Le ultime notizie che vedono WithU su Yamaha con Razali, sono l’ultimo colpo.
L’azienda energetica mette circa 2 milioni di euro e non ci sono altre risorse da distribuire. Niente frammentazione di sponsor come l’anno scorso.
Per questo motivo VR46 deve cercare altri aiuti. Ci può essere SKY ma non è chiaro se è sufficiente per due MotoGP.
Ci sono 4 team da coprire. Il team Moto3, il team Moto2, un secondo team Moto2 fatto con Yamaha, e la squadra di Marini e Bezzecchi.
Tutti progetti interessanti ma Valentino di fatto forse non sarà nemmeno in pista e ha dichiarato il suo disinteresse. Così è più difficile raccogliere soldi.
Per questo o Misano sarà sede di un annuncio definitivo della VR46 oppure il problema è grosso.
Così grosso che da alcuni addetti ai lavori giungono delle voci.
Considerando impossibili le più azzardate che vedono Rossi rinunciare addirittura alla MotoGP (sono stati prenotati due posti in griglia e ne va del prestigio della VR46), ve ne sono alcune che vedono VR46, data la mancanza di fondi, accontentarsi di due Ducati di second’ordine, e altre che addirittura vedono VR46 rinunciare alle Ducati in favore di Yamaha.
Questo consentirebbe a Razali di fare il salto di qualità e a VR46 di rimanere “in famiglia” con costi ridotti.
Per Marini e Bezzecchi, non di certo rider di prima fascia, non cambierebbe molto, ma per chi invece deve prendere i soldi, invece, sì.
Con i soldi di Ezpeleta e un pool di sponsor minori si possono prendere due Ducati o due Yamaha.
Vedremo se questo week end porterà una di queste soluzioni di emergenza oppure VR riuscirà, come al solito, a tirar fuori il coniglio dal cilindro.

Nel frattempo la stampa come il tempo, perdona tutto, senza che nemmeno il tempo sia trascorso. E il Rossi Week End, week end di addio di VR in casa, si presta straordinariamente a distogliere l’attenzione, anche se prima o poi bisognerà affrontare la realtà.




MotoGP and Moto2: Tanal and others, "out of the picture"

MotoGP Game

Play is the greatest medicine
- Lao Tze -

 

Tanal fuori dai giochi. Letteralmente.
Non quelli degli sponsor, nonostante tutti gli interlocutori sembrino scomparsi e resta da vedere, in caso arrivino i soldi, come arrivano  e da dove.

One last flicker is expected in Misano but it is not known for sure.
The Holding Company of Prince Abdul Aziz Bin Abdullah Bin Saud Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud has not been seen or heard from again but it is not just a MotoGP issue.

Su internet della holding c’è molto poco. Un sito web alquanto strano (ne abbiamo parlato qui), qualche contenzioso finito male (ne abbiamo parlato qui), ma soprattutto un brand che, di fatto NON ESISTE.
Tanal fatturerebbe, a detta del principe in persona durante una surreale conferenza stampa, 100 miliardi di dollari, ma non ha un marchio registrato.

And this is one of those things that pisses off game makers.
They may be playing games, but that's serious business, moving millions, ending up on devices of a certain level, and forever printed in products intended to be played for a long time.

Ma cosa vuol dire che Tanal e le altre aziende arabe sono fuori dai giochi?
Che Tanal, presente sulle moto di VR46 con adesivi e loghetti, insieme ad altre aziende dello stesso blocco non sarà invece presente sulle moto che compariranno nel gioco MotoGP. Non si può fare.

Milestone, which updates game liveries, will not update VR46 's with Tanal logos because of licensing issues because, rumors report, the trademark does not exist. It did not happen as in other cases in F1 that the game manufacturer did not find agreements with companies. In this case, the companies themselves are missing and the trademarks are not registered.

Quali siano le modalità della sponsorizzazione di Tanal e VR46 non è dato sapere. Uccio Salucci ha dichiarato di aver ricevuto del danaro ma, di fatto, Tanal, Maic Technologies, Fantastic City KSA, non sono marchi registrati da nessuna parte. Per non parlare del fatto che di Maic Technologies non esiste proprio niente da nessuna parte. Per questo motivo non compariranno, a meno di qualche cambiamento dell’ultim’ora, nemmeno nel gioco.
Per quanto riguarda Aramco, non ne parliamo neanche…

Questo è l’unico caso in cui qualcuno si preoccupa della differenza fra aziende paganti come SKY, WithU etc, e aziende non paganti.
Perché se invece sono paganti emerge la curiosità del come e del perché, visto che non esistono.

In short, the only ones who are serious about it seem to be the ones making the games.

 



MotoGP and Moto2: Tanal and the others, "out of the game"

MotoGP Game

Play is the greatest medicine
– Lao Tze –

 

Tanal out of the game. Literally.
And this is not about the sponsoring game, since all the interlocutors seem to have disappeared. There’s still to check, if money will arrive, where from and how it will come out.

A final flash is expected in Misano but it is not known for sure.
The Holding of Prince Abdul Aziz Bin Abdullah Bin Saud Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud has no longer been seen or heard but it is not just a MotoGP problem.

On the internet theres little trace of the holding. A rather strange website (we talked about it here), some litigation ended badly (we talked about it here), but above all a brand that, at the facts, DOES NOT EXIST.
Tanal would bill, according to the Prince himself during a surreal press conference, 100 billion dollars, but does not have a registered trademark.

And that's of those things that piss off video game makers.
They are games but that is a serious business, which moves millions of euros, ends up on devices of a certain level, and remains forever printed in products destined to be played for a long time.

But what does it mean that Tanal is out of the game?
That Tanal, present on the VR46 bikes with stickers and logos, together with other companies of the same block will not be present on the bikes that will appear in the MotoGP game graphics. It can not be done.

Milestone company updating the liveries of the games will not update those of VR46 with the Tanal logos due to licensing problems because, according to rumors, the brand does not exist, actually.  It has not happened as in other cases in F1 that the game manufacturer has not found agreements with the companies. In this case, the companies are missing and the brands are not registered.

What are the methods of sponsorship of Tanal and VR46 is not known. Uccio Salucci stated that he received some money but, and this is a fact, Tanal, Maic Technologies, Fantastic City KSA, are not registered trademarks anywhere. Not to mention the fact that there is absolutely nothing of Maic Technologies anywhere and anyhow.
For this reason they will not appear, unless some last minute changes, not even in the game.

This is the only case in this story where anyone cares about the difference between paying companies like SKY, WithU etc, and non-paying companies.
Because if they are paying, the curiosity of how and why emerges, given that they do not exist.

In short, the only ones who do things seriously seem to be the ones who play.

 



VR46: Aramco back in the game but with credible interlocutors? The new rumors!

VR46 aramco

25 milioni per tre anni coprirebbero MotoGP e Moto2.
In quel caso i Sauditi ci sarebbero per davvero (senza principe e tutto l’apparato che abbiamo imparato a conoscere) e anche il logo Aramco ormai caro, che farebbe il giro largo tramite un’agenzia di Sport Marketing a quota 15% di commissione, riprenderebbe la sua posizione originaria. Per davvero.

Questi, in breve, i rumors che spuntano in merito alla sponsorizzazione in arrivo per il team VR46 che salverebbe comunque l’onore presentando “quasi” gli stessi sauditi con un player che aveva prima negato ed era quindi scomparso e adesso torna in auge coinvolto da operatori di un livello decisamente diverso con un progetto di tutt’altro tipo.
Niente città, parchi a tema, automotive che non esiste e nemmeno mongolfiere, droni e film di fantascienza,  assurdità industriali o acquisizioni folli.

Aramco avrebbe fatto così il giro lungo per il tempo necessario a smarcarsi e avrebbe seguito il percorso previsto il 6 maggio, percorso che aveva ipotizzato un arrivo reale del petroliere ma ad opera di vettori credibili.

Insomma una sponsorizzazione vera e realistica che però  E’ STATA SMENTITA DAi PORTAVOCE DI ARAMCO DIRETTAMENTE A QUESTO SITO DURANTE IL DOVUTO FACT CHECKING.
Riportare i rumors e la smentita serve comunque a delimitare la situazione. Chi legge questa cosa altrove, ne può identificare i punti salienti.

Se tutto dovesse essere vero, comunque, alla fine VR46 potrebbe davvero farcela a mettere un brand petrolifero Saudita sulle carene delle sue moto e sarebbe addirittura lo stesso di inizio storia.
E allo stesso tempo potrebbe riuscire a liberarsi di un bel po’ di elementi a zero credibilità. Per ora, però, si tratta solo di rumors, per di più smentiti.



VR46: without Arabs or oilers, what's next? More importantly, when? And who pays?

Residence

Negli ultimi giorni è successo un po’ di tutto.
Persino i siti da parrucchieri (non si offendano i coiffeur) pieni di gente (finché dura) e di relativi click nonostante la presenza di nessun contenuto ragionato che non sia legato al mouse, si sono accorti che nell’affare Tanal-VR46 qualcosa non va e che sta crollando il castello di sabbia e saliva con cui tutto è stato impastato e somministrato.

Of everything that was announced and then kicked forward for four months, like in the Holly and Benji cartoons where the game never ended, nothing has really happened yet. And trust that nothing will happen. The commitment for someone at the moment is to disappear for someone else is to get to work to try to stem a dud remedied after five months of deliberately blind and irresponsible behavior. The facts have always been on the table, and not seeing them has required some effort. If the skills employed had been managerial (they obviously don't exist) instead of something else, the problem would not even have arisen, instead ... perhaps the management is not there.

The many press conferences that never happened

There should have been an immediate conference in which both the fate of Valentino and some details about all the Italo-Saudi projects that had been so poorly planned (yet they had bought into them as a group) as to numb only those who were already dumb as they were.
The conference did not take place.

There was supposed to be a conference at which the Prince with the very long name and his "architect" adviser from Terni were to open the doors of the Saudi residence, but neither the day nor the place has been revealed. It would be to go to Ryadh and ring the Prince and ask if His Highness is there or at least Mr. Bernardini, his advisor, who instead seems to have gone into hiding, presumably in Umbria where he has always placed all his initiatives.

Ci sarebbe dovuta essere una conferenza di Misano in cui Rossi avrebbe dovuto comunicare il suo futuro, presumibilmente e possibilmente legato ad una sua ultima annata su moto italo-saudite, insieme al fratellastro Luca Marini e ai petrolsoldi.
Rossi si è invece ritirato in Austria, attraverso un commiato triste in una conferenza senza tavolino e senza quelli con cui ha sempre condiviso i suoi momenti sportivi.
Lì è stata fatta una prova. E’ stata invitata solo la stampa più malleabile e addomesticata. Nessuna domanda, infatti, sulla sponsorizzazione del secolo che avrebbe dovuto comprendere un team di MotoGP ma anche (la grandeur della truffa) anche l’acquisto della VR46 e dell’Accademy.Quella sarà l’audience della prossima conferenza stampa, vedrete. Poca gente che annuisce e lubrifica.

A questo punto, considerando che gli Arabi sembrano proprio non esserci, gli architetti ternani nemmeno e i petrolieri non ci sono mai stati, chi sponsorizzerà VR46 e per fare cosa e a che livello?

Ma soprattutto, visto che la conferenza in cui si aprono le porte del Principe non ha una data né un luogo (perché è inventata) e quella di Misano (legata al futuro di VR) è stata fatta in Austria, che conferenza dobbiamo aspettare? E per quando? Come dicono a Roma: de che dovemo parlà?

Niente Fantastic Trophy fra Gubbio e Rihad, niente moto elettriche ibride a quattro ruote, niente Accademy italo saudita, niente città del futuro, niente parchi a tema a parte quello costituito da un murales e un pollo di plastica gigante già fatto a Tavullia, niente hypercar Mazzanti da 1.111hp (che sappiatelo, non esiste), niente aziende italo-marocchino-coreane e nemmeno la Confartigianato di Terni che pare stia prendendo le distanze da certi soggetti, inclusi i plurifalliti che erano stati titolati e accreditati all’interno dei progetti inesistenti.

In the coming days, something will be attempted. On Wednesday there may be a semi-closed-door conference (only with the trusted) where the new justifications for not being completely ashamed will be packaged and distributed.
Somewhere there are those who are trying not to go to jail while in the press rooms there are those who are trying not to be tarred on the job for taking 4 1/2 months of deliberate blunders, although some are already turning the tables by saying that it had gotten there, that it couldn't be true, etc.
On the other hand, there are those who have to put up the money and who have already been trying to make up for something for a few weeks, we imagine, otherwise it means that we are looking at a Totò e Peppino-style management.

Noi li avevamo avvisati. E non è un modo di dire. Avevamo proprio telefonato a tutti i diretti interessati, uo ad uno,i proponendo dati, indagini materiali, e informazioni.  Insomma aiuto. Ci avevano detto che andava tutto bene.
Abbiamo quasi voglia che qualcuno ci smentisca così possiamo esaminare tutto il materiale audio e video per renderci conto ancora meglio di cosa è successo e come.



Team VR46: Ducati rumors worried about possible cheating. Wednesday a rescue press conference?

Ciabatti and Domenicali

The rumors emerging are that of a Ducati worried about the VR46 affair.
A Ducati now convinced of the deception by dl Tanal who is not there, Aramco who called off from day one, and the princes who do not appear. Not to mention the architects who are not architects and have gone, also, into hiding with the whole package. At least that's the way it appears.

Ducati è garantita da Dorna, si intende, che pagherà quei 5 milioni pattuiti e necessari, quindi la faccenda non è tragica, ma resta il fatto che 5 milioni non bastano. Ne servono altrettanti per fare tutte le cose che VR46 e Ducati avevano concordato, nel modo in cui avevano deciso di farlo. Va anche detto che sempre i soliti rumors parlano di una Ducati già allarmata da tempo, anche da prima degli articoli di chi scrive.

5 million for an official team, is not enough and therefore it remains to be understood, even assuming that we are willing and able to give up something, whether sponsors will be "recovered" by Dorna or a reshuffle will be made from what currently feeds the coffers of the VR46 teams. We are of course talking about SKY, WithU etc.

Queste sono le cose che dovrebbero essere chiarite in occasione della tanto attesa conferenza stampa che “sarebbe” stata annunciata per mercoledì prossimo e vi sarebbero stati invitati solo “giornalisti selezionati” fra cui ovviamente non c’è Misterhelmet che ha rotto tanto le scatole e quindi non è “selezionabile” né tanto meno gestibile.
Chi sarà seduto al tavolo della conferenza stampa, non è dato saperlo, basterà vedere i partecipanti per capire quale sarà la direzione finanziaria del team VR46.
L’idea è quella che non vedremo principi, emiri e petrolieri ma qualche sponsor di recupero, anche se Valentino Rossi, intervistato ieri, ha nuovamente dichiarato di essere uno che tende a fidarsi e che quindi, è tranquillo.
Come già sostenuto, è ovvio che il Team VR46 si farà,  solo che magari ci sarà da stringere un po’ la cinghia.



Fixers, princes, oilmen and "suspicious" companies: is someone exploiting VR46 and Valentino without their knowledge? New releases do not convince!

Last press

DISCLAIMER
Usually those who spoil parties are never nice and seem to do so out of envy, spite, or who knows what. Assuming that this is the case, that is, that we are indeed spoiling a party, it is good to clarify the meaning of this piece. The only purpose is to protect all those who might, as collateral victims, stumble upon a matter that is likely to be unclear. Obviously we believe in the good faith of all parties involved, but at the same time we would like to point out some doubts about the matter. Many things do not add up and we raise a flag. If we got something wrong, we are ready to rectify it. For the last time, we would be happy if this whole affair was a big misunderstanding.
All the documentation, recorded phone calls, emails and communications we have collected, is available to the Judiciary.

PROLOGUE
Since May 6 on this site we have been busy seeking information and clearing some doubts about the communicated partnership between Tanal Entertainment Sport and Media, and VR46 with the sponsorship of Aramco, for the 2022 MotoGP adventure on Ducati.
With the VR46 partnership statements still fresh, some doubts were already coming to light, unfortunately only on our part, related to the fact that, first of all, there were no signatures or quotation marks in the press release, and then the first denials from the oil company had already arrived.

CLICK HERE TO VIEW TANAL VR46 ARAMCO ITALIAN RELEASE

FIRST DENIALS
More than three months, almost four, have passed since late April, and there have been two more denials. The first came in late June and the second, in Assen. The latter is really the heaviest, as it came from the mouth of the CEO of the oil company, Aramco Oversea, Al Murri.
Let us briefly give a summary history.

1) Denial by Aramco's press account, Adam Jibali, contact person for the Brunswick Group agency, which handles Aramco 's relations not in the UK but around the world.
"There is no strategic agreement between Aramco and VR46. There has never been any business relationship between Tanal Entertainment and Aramco." That alone would have been enough to worry about.

2) Some sites would later receive requests from Aramco Uk regarding the removal of the news of the Aramco deal from the news sites complete with a request for correction and with an official statement about Aramco 's absolute unrelatedness to VR46 and MotoGP. Few concerns here either, except from a handful of professionals, only foreigners.

3) To close, the CEO of Aramco Oversea, host of the Pramac team, would again and personally deny being involved in the deal. When the prince's words were allegedly pointed out to him, he would reply, "Do you know how many princes we have in Saudi Arabia?" A statement-an explanation that is hard to ignore.

It must be said, however, that Aramco could and could have made a little more effort to deny and say, on the record and once and for all, the same things it has been saying to various journalists face to face or mail to mail, in short, as it did to us. 

 

These three boulders, with the addition of the latest denial that we also received directly from Brunswick Group on July 27, clarify Aramco 's point of view and downplay the repeated reassurances that allegedly came from the Saudi Prince. Arguably, despite the undoubted good faith, there is some distance between willingness to sponsor directly (through Aramco) or indirectly, by having Aramco go through Tanal Entertainment, and actually being able to do so lightly, ending up in the hull with certain brands. Provided everything is true, including the prince appearing in photographs alongside reassuring statements, but never in a video or in person.And allow us, everyone is free to have doubts and manifest them. Not least because Tanal Global Holding is one thing, and Tanal Entertainment Sport and media, another--and we will see that at least one of the two does not seem to exist.

 

SAUDI PRINCE'S ITALIAN ADVISER AND STRANGE PRESS OFFICE

We were recently contacted by the Prince's Councilor, Architect Marco Bernardini, who wanted us to make some clarifications, which, however, are nothing more than statements similar to those already issued through communiqués.

We point out that at the Order of Architects we could not find but one namesake in Liguria. "Our" Architect Marco Bernardini, we are not aware of.

Returning to the phone call, the architect was keen to illustrate how from the site Tanal and the network of releases, we could have inferred the goodness and absolute reliability of the initiative. Too bad the architect was not referring to Tanal Global Holding but to Tanal Entertainment, and there is no trace of the latter on the web.

We were later written to by Ms. Arianna Pasquale (we found no trace of her anywhere), Head Press Officer of Tanal Entertainment and Media, who, however, raised further doubts and perplexities in us. Let us see them.

EMAIL ADDRESS AND PRESS OFFICE
We found it quite peculiar that a multinational communications company with a dedicated site does not have a personalized email address, although in fact Tanal Entertainment does not have a site at all. The email came to us from tanalentertainment.press@gmail.com
This is unheard of in a similar field.
They make cities of the future and don't have a dedicated corporate email.
The same message, signed by Arianna Pasquale, contained no phone number, either personal or from the office.
The job of a press office is to get tracked down to provide information and clarification. This is not the case here.
The office has no address, email, landline, mobile, fax, etc. A website is not listed either. We went looking for it. And we did not find it.
Tanal Entertainment and Media is running several million-dollar partnerships with several international partners and has no website. We did, however, find that of Tanal Global Holding, which is also troubling.

DOUBTS ON THE WEBSITE OF MULTINATIONAL TANAL GLOBAL HOLDING

First, the mismatch between Tanal Entertainment and Tanal Global Holding. The website of Tanal Global Holdings with the S
https://www.tanalglobalholdings.com/ is quite unique.
It is first of all made with a program for pre-packaged sites, specifically Jimdo. One can make a site there for a few euros by copying from various pre-packaged templates.
A multinational company that does billion-dollar projects did not contract a web agency to make its site. Quite unique.
And still it shows. The site is sloppily made.

Multilingualism is also not present. This is also quite strange for a multinational company that operates in 37 countries around the world.

THE NEWS IS NOT THERE
With all the high prestige and visibility initiatives, the news section is strangely under construction. Announcements are sent out, so the news would be there, but strangely it is not on the site. This is the first case of this kind for a high-level holding company. And also of a somewhat lower level.

President and Vice Presidents of Tanal Global Holdings are two Saudi princes whose names, however, are slightly different from those of the royal family found on Wikipedia, to be clear, even though they correspond to the owners of Tanal Entertainment Sport and Media.
It may happen that some transcripts are not quite identical.
We can overlook that as well.

There is a global network with a map and cities where the locations would be. However, there is not even an address to reach them. Not even an address of even one location. Yet we are talking about about 40 locations in 37 countries around the world, no continent excluded.

As advisor there is a name and a phone number.
No response to the call. As email address an email @tanalglobalholdings in the name Omar, and a gmail address.
Again, quite unique. Omar has an email with no last name in a multinational company.

Tanal News Section
Tanal News Section

 

A CLIENT PORTFOLIO WITHOUT CLIENTS
In the portfolio there is a list of activities in which Tanal is involved.
There are so many, but not a single client is listed in the client portfolio. Not a single specific initiative is listed among the many listed in the various releases. Quite unique.

Fra i partners presenti, ne abbiamo chiamati alcuni.
Di quelli che parlano inglese nessuno conosce Tanal ma un paio ci hanno già detto che è stata fatta loro questa domanda. Hanno chiesto a noi come mai. Forse è qualcuno che ha le nostre stesse curiosità.

GLOBAL SECTION OF THE SITES
Many offices in various countries have the same email address despite the fact that the contact persons are people with different names.
In various countries even far apart Omar always responds who has a gmail email address in common with other contact persons.
Strange this too however maybe these things happen.

The site's privacy policy is google's standard one, and it's not even customized for the referring site.
A bit of laziness, but it is still illegal. In Tanal they may not know this.

THE CURIOUS ANNOUNCEMENTS RECEIVED
Tanal, whether Global Holding or Entertainmente, does not appear to have carried out any activities prior to May.
All initiatives seem to start from that month, following the announcements of the agreement with VR46 in late April.
Only the latest activities may have been selected, but even on the web one can find almost nothing from before that period.

The first release we are going to talk about is the last one in chronological order regarding the upcoming (but it has already passed without having happened) participation of TANAL ENTERTAINMENT SPORTS & MEDIA WITH YAYA EVENTS AT THE ANDALUSIA RALLY 2021 TEST LIVE prologue of an unclear FANTASTIC TROPHY COMPETITION, which is supposed to be an intercontinental gaming competition mixed with hyper-realistic reality.

The connection is not clear but that's okay. The Andalusia Rally is a car event, though. On the photos, however, there is a gentleman who is supposed to be doing the Dakar on a motorcycle. The driver in question is also CEO of an Edutainment company that often appears in Tanal's press releases and partners. Jader Giraldi, is photographed next to a motorcycle but is participating in a car rally. Or so it is explained. Quite curious. Or we didn't understand it ourselves.
We tried to reach Mr. Giraldi but it was not posibiile to talk to him.

The list of various partners for the rest is quite clear: in addition to Tanal Entertainment Sport and Media we have Yaya Events, a company of the motorcyclist motorist, Maic Technologies, a specialist in biodetection systems.
All of these partners would be part of the Tiburtec technology hub , overseen by Architect Bernardini, the Prince's advisor, inside the Via Peroni headquarters in the Tiburtino Technopole, between Rome and Tivoli.

The location of the large, modern building also appears in the release, with all the logos of the many partner companies in plain view.
The building, however, is a render, a graphic proof.
In reality the building exists, but on Google the color, the gardens, and the facade, which does not feature the company logos shown in the conunication, are slightly different.

TIBURTEC REAL
TIBURTEC AS IT REALLY IS

We went to the site and indeed there is no logo on the facade. We spoke with some employees and the building's concierge and it was confirmed that none of the companies listed had ever resided within the complex or received mail. Or at least they, perhaps apart from Korean, do not know them. Not all companies need to be surveyed in a complex but then how come an untrue image was provided of a building that does not have those logos? What is the point of showing a counterfeit location?
The concierge and employees of the building assured us that the logos were never on the building, which instead are prominently displayed in the photo of Tiburtec included in Tanal's statement. For the record, Tiburtec is a real existing company but it administers condominiums.

Among the many companies mentioned, quite interesting is KMHG - Korean Moroccan Holding Group, an association of Moroccan expatriates in Korea, at least that's what we found, which is described as an expert in analytics.
It is a Holding Company which, however, barring our mistakes, we understand has only one employee. He must be a very good one who can do a lot of things. But being, that company, chaired by Marco Bernardini, we get the doubt that the architect is modest and does not want to appear too many times so as not to take too much credit.

Thus, somewhat surprisingly, the release also finds a place in the press release for the presentation of a project for a 4-wheel-drive hybrid motorcycle that should start from a video game and go on to a movie based on a book, and then be produced.

The video game we could not find. The book exists but we found no trace of the filming that should have been going on for a year in the city of Gubbio in addition to Rome, New York Jeddah, Riyadh and Moscow. For New York Moscow and other foreign cities we have given up but at the municipality of Rome and the municipality of Gubbio we have not found anyone aware that they have been shooting a film in their city for a year.
However, we are happy that the exclusive prototype motorcycle that will also be used on the set of the film called "Edward Loth - Najima The Fantastic City" produced by Tanal Entertainmet Sport & Media together with an Italian co-production and other international partners, based on the book by best-selling author Philip Osbourne, will kick off the mass production of the motorcycle in question designed by C Creative, a company owned by Claudio Castiglioni, in a factory located in Terni and managed by Giampiero Sacchi, the same person who at Mugello accompanied along with the VR46 men, architect Bernardini to Dorna by Carmelo Ezpeleta hoping that this project will have different results from those from the bankruptcy of Sacchi's Terni racing company, Ioda Racing, which unfortunately sees its assets subject to judicial auction and several people left without work and with payments to be received.
The bike however, though only a drawing, is beautiful and we hope it will actually be produced.
Only thing: in another statement, also from Tanal, it is announced that the bike will instead be produced in Saudi Arabia.
There is some uncertainty. Someone tell that to Giampiero Sacchi, who may be preparing the plant in Terni.
For now, however, there is no great danger, since all the plans are future and nothing has been realized yet.

 

THE MAZZANTI SUPERCAR THAT DOESN'T EXIST YET

Somewhat simpler is the statement about the Mazzanti Evantra hyper car, which fortunately exists even if in earlier models and is produced in the number of 5 examples per year. In truth, since 2015 there have been no nameplate models. Only a few prototypes, at least that is how it seems to us.
Mazzanti is reported to have less than 10 employees with an annual personnel cost of about 81,000 euros. And so we assume that at Mazzanti, unless we are looking at exploitation, there should be just a couple of employees.

Returning to the car in the communiqué, of this model that does not yet exist, 57 are to be produced, by a factory that does not currently have a single license plate, in an upgraded 1111hp armored and fire-resistant version with inviolable anti-theft device. The cars will, of course, be produced in the future in a 275-thousand-square-meter plant also directed by Architect Bernardini, which will see the light of day in Saudi Arabia in the future and will employ hundreds of Arab engineers starting in the 2030s. A made in Italy made in Saudi Arabia. And it would be the first automobile factory in history located in one of those countries.

Evantra-MBS-ONE-1111-HP
Evantra-MBS-ONE-1111-HP (render)

It is obviously all very interesting but also quite thrown forward in years, especially if we are talking about a hypercar.
In the meantime, however, the car will appear, not to mention, in the aforementioned film "Edward Loth - Najima The Fantastic City" and in various video games in the form of a flying tank in special effect mode since, as stated above, it does not exist. It all happens in that movie.

The good fortune, this time, is that on the Mazzanti Automobili website there is a reference to the communiqué even though the words are the same as in Luxurious Magazine which itself reports the Tanal communiqué, as if Mazzanti is reporting the communiqué of others on its own initiative. "It looks like a Lotus," they say, but it is only a drawing. The car will be different. Mazzanti has not released information on this issue. We will have to wait a few years for the plant and then the cars to be produced. Patience is needed.
In the meantime, however, Tanal sends out his proclamations and the press takes them up confidently, and with partnerships declared and taken up by the press, it is a little easier to find other partnerships.

FANTASTIC TROPHY COMPETITION
In one of the releases regarding the association with VR46, in fact, perhaps one of the least read since it does not speak directly about Motogp, there is another rather curious initiative that deserves attention: the FANTASTIC TROPHY COMPETITION, defined as a new two-wheel sports competition designed by
Tanal Entertainment Sports & Media to create a new competition format with unique features. Unlike the best-known competitions, the release reads, Fantastic Trophy Competition uses two different types of courses: in the desert in Saudi Arabia and on dirt roads in Italy. As in all Tanal initiatives it starts in Umbria and ends in Saudi Arabia doing the Paris Dakar in a sort of Riad.

The format of the competition, the release continues, is similar to a video game: immersed in reality, using the interaction between two wheels, satellites, drones, hot air balloons; real-time interaction with the stable in the field and the audience at home. The use of advanced virtual reality, communication and navigation technologies, interactive platforms for digital and telemetry stream management will be provided by Korean Moroccan Holding Group, in collaboration with leading Korean players in the industry.
Let us not forget, however, that the Korean Moroccan Holding Group, turns out to be an association of Moroccan emigrants in Korea and has, if we are not mistaken, only one employee, its president, architect Bernardini, who of course if he believes can correct and disprove our claims. Not to mention that the telematic flows in other releases were entrusted to Maic.
Keep these two companies in mind.

However, in this case from a time perspective we are lucky because the final format will be presented by September 2021 and then, the release says, could announce a test race from November to December on two routes, one Italian and one Saudi.
One in KSA - in the desert from Fantastic City, which still as a city we remember, does not exist to KAEC on the Red Sea - and one on off-road tracks in Italy, starting in Tavullia, Gubbio and Terni, where MAIC Technologies is designing and building the first prototype four-wheel-drive off-road motorcycle with hybrid, thermal and electric propulsion, while plant production is planned in Saudi Arabia.
Here there is a problem with an earlier release since the motorcycle seemed to be destined, as production in Terni.
And Maic Technologies, according to another communiqué, we understood to be engaged in biometric sensing activities and not motorcycle production.
From one release to another, MAIC and KMHG switched roles.

Fantastic Trophy Competition, the statement continues, will be a real hub for the selection of young Saudi riders, whose talent can emerge with the valuable support of VR46.
I wonder if in Saudi Arabia they know about this all-Italian opportunity to become like Valentino, Morbidelli and Bezzecchi as they race followed by drones, satellites and hot air balloons and audiences from home, on a four-wheel-drive hybrid motorcycle that will be built in the next few years in Saudi Arabia itself, or in Terni.

Following in the communiqué is praise for the Saudi Prince and Moroccan-Korean companies, chaired by Architect Bernardini, a recognized representative of Korean technology and Italian creativity. Of the latter, the communiqués are not lacking because of the efforts in urban planning, construction, technology and academia, there is no project actually implemented yet. And we hope that the Saudi prince will not be upset about this.

On the remaining communiqués regarding the specific agreements between Tanal Global and VR46, those with KSA New Cities AND ARAMCO as the target, little to add except that they all present the same stereotypes: projects yet to be realized, statements yet to be verified, one-sided communiqués, and partner companies appearing, always the same, in all the projects communicated by Tanal. And the one sponsor, ARAMCO, who no longer knows how to deny it.

For the rest, he was right, Architect Bernardini when he told me on his phone call that by well analyzing the network of news, releases and initiatives, the numbers would indeed add up.

The common thread is him: Marco Bernardini, administrator of Terni-based Systech, a company that makes electrical panels (so the web reports, since the company has no website), with a passion for Saudi Arabia, formerly resigned construction manager of Terni's Cardeto Park, and a proponent as a bystander of electric motorcycle projects that wanted to participate in the MotoE championship in 2017 (they didn't make it) and in later years of electric racing cars that never came to life, multifunctional energy towers that never went up, and Saudi smart cities that have yet to be built, with projects that have been thrown into the future for a few years but then, when the future arrives, are never seen.
Another thing that leaves us doubtful is the fact that there is no record at the Architectural Association of Architect Marco Bernardini. There is a namesake of his but he has a practice in Liguria. We hope he is at least a surveyor. We can of course be wrong and are ready for any correction.

 

WHO IS LIKELY TO BE HARMED?

In all this web of events, communiqués and companies, the one who risks losing out is VR46 , which seems to be more used than sponsored.
We called VR46 in the person of Uccio Salucci who, very courteously, confirmed the partnership with Tanal and to have already active sponsorships in CIV and CEV, with related financial support and fairing sponsors but, following our further requests, he directed us to Alberto Tebaldi who, however, busy, promised to call us back. We have been waiting for several days.

In addition to VR46, in an obviously marginal position, there is also. Ducati, which will have to provide two official bikes as well as technicians and engineers. Obviously the company is not in danger but there could still be some image damage or some element to reconsider.
As for Dorna , which is in danger of not being able to count on the flow of money that such a lavish sponsorship should bring, it will obviously make its contribution to the team, but it is clear that it would be faced with an uphill project that would have to seek another sponsorship, at this point, last minute.

In short, we are sure that the VR46 MotoGP team will happen and it will also be a success. Princes, fixers, oilmen-we believe it's all true. The only thing that does not add up for us is referring to the credentials so far exhibited by its sponsor. Which we will be glad to disprove.

 

IMPORTANT UPDATE 

This article has been ready for a few days, about a week. We asked for clarification and gave it time to respond but received very aggressive approaches as well as unhinged reactions.
On Saturday, July 31, it came out on the important website GPONE an article regarding the launch of a press conference to be held in Riad although, uncharacteristically for such a release, the date is missing. We are sure GPONE will have done its due diligence. To us, however, it still doesn't add up.
There is a video in the release that is again a render and depicts the building made in the shape of an F1 car. What does this have to do with Tanal?
Also missing is ARAMCO in addition to SIg. Bernardini and the sponsors have become POTENTIAL.
What is that supposed to mean? Someone help us out here.

Valentino Rossi and Aramco: doubts grow. Press and finance wake up, but not by us!

VR46 aramco

Those who want to sit through a giant "I told you so" can go read this piece from May 6 in which, with the VR46 partnership statements still fresh, some doubt was already coming to light concerning the fact that, first of all, there were no signatures or quotation marks in the press release, and then the first denials from the oil company had already arrived.
More than two months have passed since late April, and there have been two more denials. The first came in late June and the second, in Assen. The latter is really the heaviest, as it came from the mouth of the oil company's CEO.
Let's briefly do the summary history.

1) Smentita dell’account stampa di Aramco, Adam Jibali, referente dell’agenzia Brunswick Group, che cura le relazioni di Aramco:
“Non c’è nessun accordo strategico tra Aramco e VR46. Non c’è mai stata alcuna relazione commerciale tra Tanal Entertainment e Aramco”. Sarebbe bastato già questo per preoccuparsi.

2) In seguito alcuni siti avrebbero ricevuto richiesta da Aramco Uk in merito alla rimozione della notizia dell’accordo VR46-Aramco dai siti di news con tanto di richiesta di rettifica e con la dichiarazione ufficiale sull’assoluta estraneità di Aramco con la VR46 e con la MotoGP. Poche anche qui le preoccupazioni, se non da parte di una manciata di professionisti, solo stranieri.

3) Per chiudere, il CEO di Aramco, ospite del team Pramac, avrebbe nuovamente e personalmente smentito di essere coinvolto nell’accordo. Quando gli sarebbero state fatte notare le parole del Principe, avrebbe risposto: “Sapete quanti principi abbiamo in Arabia Saudita?” Un’affermazione-spiegazione difficile da ignorare.

These three boulders clarify Aramco 's point of view and downplay the repeated assurances that would have come from the Saudi Prince. Arguably, despite the undoubted good faith, there is some distance between willingness to sponsor directly (through Aramco ) or indirectly, by having Aramco go through Tanal Entertainment, and actually being able to do so lightly, ending up in the hull with certain brands.

Multinational corporations, even those controlled by the royal families of countries in which we do not go too far, as internationally listed, must meet management criteria that do not have too much room for interpretation.
There are boards of directors, budgets, code of ethics, and all the corporate utility criteria that must be met by a company under international scrutiny.

Nessuno ha dubbi che VR46 troverà uno sponsor munifico per la sua avventura. Semplicemente rischia di non essere questo, a meno che non vengano fatti importanti cambiamenti nei vertici delle società nominate.

Ma la cosa più grave non è quella di uno sponsor che sarà, molto probabilmente, sostituito da un altro, vista l’elevata appetibilità del team VR46, quanto il dilettantismo di tutti coloro che dovrebbero giudicare professionalmente la situazione per poi raccontarla, almeno così dovrebbe essere, con distacco.

No quotes or signatures were seen in the opening statements. Nor was there any detailed understanding of the connection between the entities involved, Tanal Entertainment and Aramco, where the former appears to be more of a mediator of interests and activities and the latter a multinational corporation playing a high-level game and subject to precise rules. We then saw statements that were yes nominal, but never joint, on the same sheet as specific sponsorship commitments, to wit. Not to mention the heavy denials of the oilman, who seems to be anything but controlled by the Princes.

Tanal and Aramco are yes "owned" by the Saudi royal family but, the concept of financial control and the Saudi royal family are very broad in meaning.
A multinational oil company is not a button store, and there are boards of directors, boards, shareholders to consider. The CEO is not a footman but a person appointed to protect, at the cost of his own survival, the privileges of the company whose administration he has been entrusted with. A royal family, in Saudi Arabia, is something complicated, from the point of view of the number of members and the balance between them. A rivalry, even a small one, can carry unimaginable weight.

All these unseen things, as well as the visible ones, should be taken into account by an information professional.

With the exception of a few foreign sites and only a couple of ours, however, it was like walking barefoot in the Sahara desert of amateurism, among the majestic dunes of condescension.
All the sites and newspapers behaved worse than a press office, as even a communications manager works on a minimum of quotation marks from his bosses to keep his job.

La gara invece è stata solo quella di entrare nei dettagli economici mai scritti (20 milioni da dove spuntano?), nel fascino dell’operazione, e nelle pieghe bagnate del sogno populista di un Valentino pilota per un altro anno (e anche qui non si capisce il masochismo).
Ci si è soffermati sulle specifiche tecniche di moto che non si sa da chi verranno pagate e sui dettagli di piloti di un team che, per ora, c’è solo nelle intenzioni.
Diventa clamoroso, a questo punto, anche l’accordo con Ducati, se lo sponsor non ci sarà, e la certezza di tutti i protagonisti che, in barba alla mancanza di una qualsiasi sicurezza firmata, sono così tranquilli su tutto.
Questo perché significherebbe che un organizzatore come Dorna e un’azienda come Ducati, basano le loro scelte aziendali e commerciali su presupposti e desiderata che possono anche tranquillamente non esistere. Se anche lo sponsor ci sarà ma sarà diverso, sarà comunque gravissimo. Perché non è su quello che è stato un accordo pluriennale multimilionario. Quindi, in pratica, vorrebbe dire che “si è andati un po’ a culo”.

E alla fine, bisogna anche ringraziarla, Aramco, la quale, in seguito a tutti i render variopinti di moto, tute, caschi, etc, si è limitata a smentire e a chiedere rimozione di articoli, ma ancora non si è irritata per l’uso, a questo punto arbitrario di nome, marchio e coinvolgimento di un’azienda pur sempre quotata in borsa.
A qualcun altro sarebbe costato caro, dal punto di vista legale e mediatico. La zimbellitudine da paddock avrebbe raggiunto livelli stellari.

In short, when even it is all true, someone will eventually have to explain why there is so much resistance from a company that is supposed to do what the master wants but, in fact, is trying (and succeeding) not to, and so much acquiescence from those who are supposed to reason about these things.

In the end, in summary:
1) The deal was badly announced and taken for granted despite lacking basic assumptions.
2) Tanal and Aramco companies will also answer to the same ownership but seem to be in conflict instead.
3) The press can be told whatever it wants that it will always choose the solution that allows it to stage more stories and garner more clicks, regardless of the clues it gets or the common sense that would be needed in the analysis. Even at the cost of prostrating itself so that it becomes a new Youporn category.

Ma questo, perché?
Per gli stessi ingredienti che servono perché una truffa abbia successo (anche se qui non è di truffa che si parla):
Sparare in alto, pensare in grande e tirare dentro nomi troppo grossi perché ne venga messa in dubbio la veridicità.
E in questo caso siamo tutti davanti ad un sogno. Un principe vero, un principe dello sport, tanti soldi provenienti da chi nell’immaginario collettivo può disporne come vuole, e un brand, quello di Ducati, che è sicuramente il più appetibile per un romanticismo di successo.

Then there is another detail: all investment policies of Saudi companies linked to the target government (almost all of them are), are under scrutiny because of the historical and repeated violation of human rights on which the Arab country has been quite casual. Sports washing, i.e., the activity involving massive high-impact sponsorships to ingratiate themselves into the target social fabrics and public opinion (housing, amusement parks, sports facilities) has long been under scrutiny by all European countries and beyond, as well as by much of the international press (apart from our own).

Sia chiaro: il team si farà, nessuno dubita, anche a costo di trovare un altro contributor o di far pagare tutto a Dorna. Ma la figuraccia rischia comunque di essere di quelle alcooliche.
Il reato è quello di informazione in stato di ebbrezza e ubriachezza molesta da click.

 



VR46 MotoGP: that nuisance named Bastianini!

Bastianini

WARNING: EXPLICIT LYRICS. EXPLICIT CONTENT, DIRECT LANGUAGE AND HAIRY OPINIONS

Bastianini è bello che spacciato. Adesso lo sa. Cioè lo sa dal primo momento in cui hanno presentato il team Avintia SKY VR46 dove lui è il cenerentolo che si è dovuto accontentare delle frattaglie di luce, comunicazione e considerazione che rimanevano, di rimbalzo, dalle presentazioni alle interviste, fino alle menzioni in telecronaca e tutto il repertorio da Istituto Luce che da anni caratterizza il motorsport tricolore.
Il campione del mondo della Moto2 diventava gregario del fratello di. Non ci si crede. Ebbene era evidente. E lo è tutt’ora nonostante il confronto sia impietoso.

Il team Avintia doveva solo cambiare nome in VR46… e forse marchio di moto. Adesso nemmeno più quello, dato che sono sempre più prepotenti le voci di accordo con Ducati. Insomma è fatta. E se non è fatta è un’ennesima figuraccia da parte della squadra di Tavullia dopo l’autogoal con ARAMCO, che prima era sulla bocca di tutti e adesso da una decina di giorni non si nomina più.

In realtà ci ha provato, VR46. L’operazione ARAMCO leggi anche fumo in faccia a Petronas, non è andata a buon fine.
La verità è che non è VR46 che ha scelto le Ducati (che costano anche di più), ma è Yamaha che ha scelto Petronas.

In doubt already for a while VR46, the company and all the publishing that for years has been crawling in the presence of the most profitable package and with the most glaring team/media conflict of interest in the history of motorsport, is trying to take Morbidelli home after turning him around so that, like a magnet, he has opposed the pole of attraction with Petronas, with Yamaha and with Forcada. It serves to repel them. It serves to make the dream team, that is, a team that has the owner's brother in it and one that is really going strong. It needs Morbidelli, and it needs to get rid of Bastianini.

Those who write that the VR46 riders will be Marini and Bastianini are lying hoping to lie. That would not be such a good story to tell.

A self-respecting VR46 team cannot have in its lineup the living, winning demonstration that you don't have to be part of the Academy to play in the Motorcycle A Series. Bastianini is proof that you can make a career for yourself, early and well. What kind of VR46 team would it be if "typical products" were not fielded?

Forse Enea è destinato a fare un solo anno terribile (oltre al resto di questo 2020 che già è bello pesante) nel caso non si trovi nessun altro, ma la realtà è che i pesaresi piuttosto su quella moto sarebbero capaci di metterci persino Bezzecchi. Perché altrimenti non sarebbe un team VR46 fatto a modo. Insomma se vedremo Bastianini su una moto VR46 sarà solo perché non saranno riusciti a segarlo.

E chi dice che tanto Bastianini è salvo perché è già in direzione Pramac, sappia che, ammesso che sia vero, magari i primi anni no, ma entro brevissimo, ci sarà guerra anche per avere le migliori Ducati possibili, soprattutto presentando Morbidelli in squadra.

That is, assuming there aren't already problems for next year, because it's unclear what level of officialdom the VR46 team will be able to aspire to, especially when they manage to bring home the Morbido. And believe us, that is the intent and it is being worked on hard.
To figure out who pays and how much. And to be figured out when the money comes in.
For Ducati, you've seen it, there's a purely racing part and a commercial racing part, and in this case, it really doesn't matter where the money comes from, but the first one that comes in has always been the one that lodges the best.

Sarà tutto vero come quando a ottobre 2020 abbiamo anticipato e messo in connessione la chiusura del team VR46 Moto3, l’interesse di una moto per Marini e la relativa cessione degli slot proprio ad Avintia a cui si lavorava per subentrare? Ottobre eh.
Basta stare un po’ attenti.
