Master Camp riders work on wet racing skills in Tavullia

The third day of the second Yamaha VR46 Master Camp had an unusual start: instead of heading to the gym, the students were invited to visit VR46‘s headquarters to take part in a theoretical course taught by Sky Racing Team VR46‘s Technical Director and Crew Chief Pietro Caprara. The riders were asked to head straight upstairs to Valentino Rossi‘s office, where they immediately noticed the #46 YZR-M1 on display there. Throughout the class, that covered topics such as wheelbase, chassis, trail, offset, fork angle and swingarm angle, the Doctor‘s bike was used to illustrate how to properly set up a bike for racing.
