Rossi “took a dim view” on th🌞e decision, according to .

The ♊Italian legend was “already not particularly happy about being moved to the Petronas satellite team in 2021,” the report adds.

Rossi signed a deal as a brand ambassador for Yamaha ea⛄rlier𝄹 this season.

The Japanese manufacturer is where the seven-time p😼remier class champion enjoyed his most iconic d🐼ays.

But, awkwardly, Yamaha have now dispensed with one of Rossi’s♈ proteges in Morbidelli.

Morbidelli is 🦄one of four VR46 Academy graduate﷽s on the current MotoGP grid.

His removal from his 2024 seat with Yamaha comes at an intriguing time because t🍰he manufacturer have been linked with taking over Rossi’s Mooney VR46 team from 2025 onwards.

How this chapter may have soured relations between Rossi and Yamaha r🔯emains to be seen.

Marco Bezzecchi is currently considering whether to remai🎃n with Mooney VR46 in 2024, complicating the picture if that team leaveܫs Ducati for Yamaha a year later.

The possibilit⭕y of Bezzecchi exiting Ducati for Yamaha on these terms “exists but is low”, the report claims🌄.
