Valentino Rossi pinpoints the bike that can save Franco Morbidelli’s career
Morbidelli will be replaced at Yamaha by Alex Rins for 🐈the 2024 MotoGP season and currently has no place confirmed.
Rossi has now stepped inౠ with an idea of how to rescue the pജremier class career of one of the four VR46 Academy graduates on the grid.
"It would be fantܫastic for Franco to go to Pramac,” Rossi told Sky.
“He would also ride a factory bike. It would be a grಌeat possibility.
“Franco was good at Yamaha, in the second year he beat Fabio Q൲uartararo and became [runner-up in the world championship].
“Yamaha's technical delay is making them pay.
“Morbidelli can win races, the best thing for🦩 him is to ♍get on a Ducati.”
Morbidelli, a𒐪fter finishing 11th at the Austrian MotoGP, was asked about his future.
“Vale said it all, I agree with him,” he replied.
“You need to be patient. Please relax.”
After Rins q🌸uit LCR Honda to replace Morbidelli at Yamaha, Johann Zarco left his 🍎Pramac seat to replace Rins.
The current vacancies for the 2024 seaso🐼n are both within the Ducati set-up.
Pramac, who benefit from a latest-spec Desmosedici, i൩s sure to be a coveted ꦦposition.
And Gresini Racing, if they dispense with Fabio di Giannantonio as expected, wil🎶l become a possibility.
