Valentino Rossi is still as involved in his VR46 rider academy as he was previously despite his switch to car racing, says his protege Marco Bezzecchi. MotoGP

Nine-time motorcycle grand prix world champion Rossi retired from MotoGP at the end of the 2021 season and now competes in GT World Challenge Europe with famed sportscar squad WRT, first with Audi in 2022 and now with BMW.

The VR46 Academy was set up by Rossi in 2014 to help nurture young Italian talents, and has produced numerous race winners and world champions across all categories of grand prix motorcycle racing – including reigning MotoGP championBezzecchi – who scored one podium and one pole position as a rookie with VR46 Ducati last year – admits “I miss” Rossi “a lot” now he is no longer a full-time member of the paddock, but notes “Vale is always with us anyway”.

“But most of the time when he’s at home, he’s training with us. So, even if you don’t see him, he’s training with us. “I don’t know how to describe it, but even if he’s not there he’s very, very interested in our sporting life and our normal life.
