The Italian is set to be joined by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Morbidelli, who will continue💞 aboard the GP24 machine for a second season.

VR46 Team Manager Pablo Nieto said: "We 🌞are working on that. We are 🍎really close to closing everything. 

"As soon as possible we will announce the riders. But we are in th🎐e line we wanted to be in. This is very intere🗹sted in these riders."

This comes after Davide Tardozzi appeared to ﷽let slip which riders will be riding for the team.

Ducati have chosen VR46 as the official factory supported team going forward, taking over from P🍃ramac in that role.

"We are very happy," began Nieto. "In the end, we were working for that. We have made one step which is very impไortant for us. 

"To𝓀 be a factory supported team of Ducati is going to be very special for us. 

"We know that we have to work a lot, but it's very ✤important to work to🤡gether with Ducati. It is going to be a big step for us, the riders, and the team."

Di Giannantonio will now have the chance to battle against the likes 🥂of Francesco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez on the same machinery. 

But while a title push is one of the team's aims, supporting Ducati remains the﷽ main focus. 

Nieto added: "To have a factory bike is always really important. I hope we can giv🦂e our support to Ducati and try to hel🌄p them grow. 

"I know that they will help us a lot to grow up as a team and having the best bike i𓂃n MotoGP is really important. 

"Also, we know thaꩲt the 2024 bike is very special so I think we can do a very good job."
