July is vacation time for the World Championship drivers. For many, but not for everyone. In fact, the VR46 Academy riders met on the Misano circuit for a day of training on racing bikes. There is still a month to go before the Red Bull Ring race, but to stay fit there is nothing better than a few laps on the course dedicated to Marco Simoncelli.
The Riders Academy riders were almost all there, with the exception of Franco Morbidelli, who was still recovering from knee surgery, and Luca Marini, who was off for a few days. Pecco Bagnaia on the Ducati Panigale V4 and Stefano Manzi, Celestino Vietti, Marco Bezzecchi, Andrea Migno and Niccolò Antonelli used a perfect training day.
Valentino RossI was with them too (even if you don’t see him in the photos in the gallery below), since he never miss the opportunity to challenge your students.
All drivers definitely had a lot of fun and improved their skills before taking a rest and switching from jumpsuits to swimsuits.
