Petrucci made a surprise and welcome one-off appearance at the Thailand MotoGP for Suzuki, almost a year after initially retiring fromꦍ the championship.

He raced in the Dakar Rally and finished runner-up in🍎🐻 his first season with MotoAmerica in 2022 but finds himself with options for next year.

"Danilo, his manage🔯r and Barni know that in World Superbike we have Alvaro Bautista, Michael Ruben Rinaldi and Axel Bassani to win or get on the podium,” Ducati sporting director Ciab🐷atti told Speedweek.

“We don't need an🎶other rider to sh🍸ow how competitive Ducati is. 

“🦩Instead, in the other leagu🌠e [MotoAmerica] we need him and there is no replacement. 

“Ducati doesn't decide, Danilo decides. We're just putting on the ta✃ble what we can do for him in the ꦫUnited States.

"The money he can tak🤪e in America is [more than] what he would earn in World Superbike. By this week we will have a clear picture. My feeling is that he will choose the United States."

Petrucci, 3𝐆2, is best-known for his time with Ducati in M𝕴otoGP.
