Ducati’s 2024 “original plan faltering” for Marco Bezzecchi - “new plan discussed”

The Mooney VR46 team were set to benefit from Bezzecchi’s breakthrou💞gh season by receiving 2024-spec bikes next year, rather than the year-old models they currently use.
But now Ducati are wondering if Bezzecchi could instead be moved to Pramac Racing, instead of Johan♓n Zarco, report.
Th♛eir "original plan is faltering" and "new 🅰plans are being discussed", the report states.
That idea would take Zarco to Gresini Racing, where he would be racing with a ‘23 bike instead of the latest specꦚ that Bezzecchi would have at Pramac.
"But nothing has been decided yet," Paolo Ciabatti, Ducati sporting dir🍷ector, told Sp꧒eedweek.
Ducati want to finalise their decision in August.
But, as Mooney VR46 and Gresi🐽ni teams pay their own riders’ fees, Ducati do not have total control over their f🎃utures.
Bezzecchi has become hot property after storming into the lead of the MotoGP standings in the earl๊y weeks of this year.
He delivered the Mooney VR46 team’s first-ever win i🍌n Argentina, also his own maiden victory.
He currently sits t💜hird in the standings, 36 points behind leader Francesco Bagnaia and one poin🧸t behind Jorge Martin.
