Team orders in MotoGP are a complicated topic at the best of times.

But spare a thought for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Morbidelli’s potential role in the upcoming title battle.

The Italian is the Pramac Ducati team-mate of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin, who is battling for the title with Morbidelli’s VR46 Academy colleague, friend and reigning factory Ducati champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia.

All three are c🌜ontracted directly to Ducati and ride the latest GP24s. But Martin is leaving for Aprilia next season, when Pram🌞ac moves to Yamaha. Bagnaia and Morbidelli will remain at Ducati, with Morbidelli joining VR46, on a team contract.

Play🍌ing catch-up after a winter head injury stripped Morbidelli of the entire pre-season, 🌃the former title runner-up hasn’t been a factor at the front until now.

Last weekend’s San Marino MotoGP saw Morbidelli back to his best, qualif🌊ying between the title leaders during🦄 his first front-row appearance since 2021. 

Martin, Bagnaia and Morbidelli were then coverꦕed by just 1.8s at the end of a close Sprint contest, agaiꦫn Morbidelli’s first top-three in three years.

ඣQuizzed on the balancing act he will face if he continues this form in future, Morbidelli said:

“I was there. Still [Bagnaia and Martin] are the quickest of the field but for sure if we keep going like this, there will be races where w🉐e are going to be there [with them], while they are fighting for the championship.

“We are going to have to think for ourselves and what's best for Ducati🔯, and for sure, for them as well. It's going to be tricky to make the right choice, but we will discuss it all together and try to make the right choice﷽."

Nonetheless, after several tough years w🎶ith Yamaha, it's a nice proble🐼m to have.

"I'm wishing quite a lot to have this kind of problem," Morbidelli smiled. "I ho🉐pe to have this kind of problem in the future!"

Morbidel𓆏li was again running third, behind Bagnaia and Martin, when he crashed during the mid-race rain shower in Sunday's gr﷽and prix.

Twelfth in the riders’ standi💎ngs, 222 points behind Mar😼tin and almost mathematically out of the riders' title battle,  Morbidelli’s points are nonetheless also vital for Pramac in the teams’ standings.

Pramac made history last year by winning the teams' title with Martin and former team-mate Johann Za💃rco.

Although Ducati Lenovo has pulled 153 points clear this year, with Enea Bastianini back on form, Pramac is now locke♍d in a tight batt𓃲le with Gresini to sign off its final Ducati campaign as the top Independent squad.

The second ‘Emilia Romaꦛgna’ Misano round takes place at Morbidelli's home Misano circuit next weekend.
