VR|46 Racing Apparel Partners with MotoGP Authentics to Offer Exclusive Valentino Rossi Memorabilia

VR|46 Racing Apparel S.r.l, the company founded by MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi, has announced a landmark partnership with premium memorabilia brand MotoGP Authentics. The collaboration will give fans and collectors unprecedented access to rare and authentic pieces from Rossi’s iconic racing career.

VR|46 Racing Apparel launched its official memorabilia project on VR46.com in early 2025. With this new strategic alliance, the company will work closely with Memento Exclusives—the UK-based motorsport memorabilia specialist behind MotoGP Authentics—to broaden its global collector community and enhance the availability of genuine Rossi artefacts.

First Rare Items Go to Auction in November 2025

The first batch of exclusive memorabilia will debut via the MotoGP Authentics auction in November 2025. Highlight pieces include:

• A genuine Valentino Rossi flat track bike, personally used by The Doctor
• Signed race boots and gloves
• A replica of Rossi’s 2022 Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe helmet
• A pair of wheels from his 100km of Champions bike
• A tyre from his Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Misano car

In a special experience for collectors, the winner of the flat track bike will receive the bike hand-delivered by Rossi at his famous ranch.

Celebrating the Legacy of a Motorsport Icon

Valentino Rossi remains one of the most celebrated names in motorsport. After debuting in 1996 at age 17, he claimed titles in both the 125cc and 250cc World Championships before competing 22 seasons in MotoGP. Between 2001 and 2009, he secured seven premier-class world titles, cementing his status as a global motorsport icon.

Current and past VR46 memorabilia will also be available through the MotoGP™ Authentics online store, giving fans wider access to collector-grade items tied to Rossi’s storied career.

Leaders Speak on the New Partnership

Carlo Alberto Tebaldi, CEO of VR|46 Racing Apparel, said the collaboration marks a major step in expanding the brand’s premium memorabilia project:
“We have long wanted to give fans and high-end collectors the chance to own authentic VR|46 memorabilia. Partnering with an excellent brand like Memento Exclusives helps us grow this offering and reach an even broader base of passionate supporters.”

Barry Gough, CEO & Founder of Memento Exclusives, added:
