Antonelli joins Rossi and Bezzecchi at training ranch during F1 break

Due to the cancellation of several races in the middle east for both F1 and MotoGP racers, both sports now have a gap of several weeks until their next events, which has given the drivers and riders plenty of free time to enjoy.

Unlike some athletes who are using the time to recover and detatch, Antonelli has thrown himself into the fire by joining the highly competitive and elite-level riders in Tavullia for a round of flat track racing.

While it doesn't seem that Kimi took to the track himself, he keenly observed the VR46 academy in action as they showed off their dirt bike skills.

The Mercedes driver currently leads the Formula 1 World Championship, while Bezzecchi is top of the MotoGP standings. The success of the pair is clearly a big deal in Italy, as even tennis star Jannik Sinner devoted his Miami Open victory to them.

Antonelli clearly has a good relationship with Rossi and the VR46 academy. Last year he was even in attendance at the MotoGP San Marino Grand Prix, while earlier in the year he has exchanged several congratulatory messages with Bezzecchi and vice versa.

It will be interesting to see whether Antonelli can gain anything from the training in terms of his mentality and race preparation, though right now it's hard to see that he needs to improve anything in particular.
