Valentino Rossi, at Mugello special VR46 livery dedicated to his friend Cesare Cremonini
Valentino Rossi dedicates the new 'Alaska baby' style livery to his great friend Cesare Cremonini
Tavullia (Pesaro), 19 June 2025 - A special livery, the one that the Pertamina Enduro VR46 racing team is preparing to show off for the next Mugello weekend. A great tribute to a friend of Valentino Rossi , the singer Cesare Cremonini , who is currently busy touring around Italy. For the Italian Grand Prix in Scarperia (Florence), the bikes of Fabio Di Giannantonio and Franco Morbidelli will have a livery designed by Aldo Drudi that will recall the colors on the cover of 'Alaska baby', Cremonini's latest album.
The creativity of the artist Drudi represented two Northern Lights: purple and light blue, in all their shades, come together creating a synergy that evokes the union between the team and the singer. “We met Cesare twenty years ago and over the years we have become increasingly close friends,” commented Rossi. “That’s how the idea of uniting music and MotoGP with the special 'Cremonini Live 25' livery for the Italian Grand Prix was born. Together with Aldo Drudi , we started thinking about how to put the graphics of his latest album on the MotoGP, but it wasn’t easy. However, with Aldo we did a great job and, in my opinion, the bike is very beautiful. I can’t wait to see it on the track because it will be very special. Furthermore, our bike will be at Cesare’s concert at the Dall’Ara Stadium (tomorrow, ed.), that will be an important moment.”
For the singer, “we have united music and motorsport around a common dream - his words - This project is like a hug between friends who live with the same passion. I like motorcycle racing and Vale loves music very much, of all kinds. One day Uccio (Alessio Salucci, Team Director, ed. ) called me and told me he wanted to dedicate the Mugello Grand Prix to 'Alaska Baby'. That's how the idea of making the 'Cremonini Live 2025' tour a container of energy for MotoGP and for the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team was born”.
And again: “I would never have imagined that my visions could transform into the livery of a motorbike — he concluded — It was love at first sight because it immediately gave me the impression of a motorbike that already had its own history of great charm. Instead it has just been born and its history must be made together with the champions who will ride it. I can't wait to see it on my stage , displayed like a trophy at the Renato Dall'Ara stadium but above all on the starting grid on the track, on Sunday at Mugello”:
