Brno MotoGP: Luca Marini being 'watched' by Ducati?
Slow progress in its negotiations with star rider Andrea Dovizioso has seen Ducati recently admit that Francesco Bagnaia might move to the official team next year, should no agreement be reac𒈔hed with the #4.
If that were to materialise, it would, in turn, leavꦇe a space free at ꦏPramac.
The satellite team currently runs Jack Miller alongside Bagnaia, with the Australian already꧑ confirmed as joining the Official Ducati team in 2021.

If that were to materialise,💃 it would, in turn, leave a space free at Pramac.
The satellite team currently runs Jack Miller alongs🔴ide Bagnaia, with the Aไustralian already confirmed as joining the Official Ducati team in 2021.
Ducati is yet to﷽ confirm any other riders for next year, but Moto2's Jorge Martin is believed to have reached an agreement for one of the Pramac seats.
It therefore looks like Pramac will have a Bagnaia-Martin line-up in 2021🦄.
But the ongoing doubts over Dovizioso's future m൩ean Valentino Rossi's brother Luca Marini has recently been linked to Pramac, should fellow VR46 Academy rider Bagnaia be called up to take o𒁏ver Dovizioso's ride.
"The only thing confirmed is Jack will go to the Fa💝ctory team and Pecco will be confirmed by Ducati and it's not yet decided if he will ride for us or the Factory team," Pramac team manager Franꦅcesco Guidotti told the official MotoGP website.
"The priority for Ducati will be Dovi's confirmation. In case it will not happen they will consider Pecco as first choice. If Pecco goes to the factory team, we will consider from that moment [someone to replace him] and look🌊 at Moto2."
Marini, currently third in the Moto2 standings with one victory and two podiums from the three rounds this season, insisted he does not yet have💫 any MotoGP offers, but added:
"It's an honour, a dream being watched by MotoGP guys and teams. I worked a lot to be at 100% this year, to be as fast and strong as I cꦕan because I feel very good and want to achieve great results here in Moto2.
"It would be great, fantastic [to be in MotoGP alongside Rossi and VR46 Academy riders Morbidelli and Bagnaia]. I train with them now. I can see everything. I try to ♉ask them advice because MotoGP is the best in our sport and I want to understand as many things as possible even if I am in Moto2."
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years꧑ and has seen Valentino Rossiꦗ come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
