Valentino Rossi and Marco Bezzecchi get their wish; Ducati agree to key request
There is an “agreement in sight” between Ducati and the Mooney VR46 team to equip Bܫezzecchi with a🐟n official Desmosedici in the 2024 MotoGP season, report.
Bezzecchi is “satisfied, both in terms of technical tre✤atment and salary”, the re𝄹port states.
“A long series of contacts” between Gigi Dall’Igna, the Ducati Corse 𝓡general manager, and Uccio Salucci, the Mooney VR46 team boss, resulted in a deal.
Bezzecchi will therefore remain with🌜 Rossi’s team rather than seek a betteᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚr bike elsewhere.
The young It🐓alian is enjoying a breakthrough season and remains a genuine contender for this season’s MotoGPജ championship.
He won his f🌠irst-ever grand prix in Argentina, also a first for Rossi’s team, and 📖has since won at Le Mans too.
Bezzecchi previously led the MotoGP standings but, at the summer break, he is third behind factory Ducati rider Francesco Bagnaia and Pramac’s Jorge Martin (both of whom prওofit from a 2023-spec Desmosedici).
His explosive season led to dem🐽ands for better machinery, and a pote♌ntial switch to Pramac.
Bezzecchi was also linked briefly to🥀 a move to Yamaha.
But he has always been keen to remain with the Mooney VR46🍷 set-up, and now is due to receive the major boost that he hoped for.
