Ducati have offered him the chance to use a 2024-spec ♛Desmosedici if he moves to Pramac Racing next year.

But Bezzecchi, a podium finisher at the Austrian ♕MotoGP, could stay with Mooney VR46 on a year-old bike in 2024.

“He can get the best out of his p😼ackage,” said TNT Sports’ Sylvain Guintoli after watching Bezzecchi claim third 🎃at the Red Bull Ring.

“You can tell that he’s one🉐 of the riders who is most happy with his team.

“🗹When he talks about his team, about Valentinꦑo Rossi, he almost gets emotional.

“You can tell in his eyes.

“It’s important for the team to 🌃keep him next year. I hope he remains there. I really like the story of this VR46 team.

“They are doing really well ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚwith home🌱 talents, growing them. It’s a great story.”

Michael Laverty agreed that 🐼he expects Bezzecchi to stay put: “Yes, I really do. The Pramac team are a private team, they have factory machin♐ery.

“But there’s no sense t🌌o go to another private team.

“The only time it makes sense to change is if he gets the chance to♕ replace Enea Bastianini ꦗfor factory Ducati.

“The people around you are so important. Valentino knows that, if you give [Bezzecchi] the tools, the su🅷pport and the back-up.

“It doesn’t make a lo♓t of sense to me, to move across to Pramac.”

Bezzecchi f🗹ell 68 points behind championship leader Francesco Bagnaia, who won the Austrian MotoGP.
