Yamaha, whose 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo won the MotoGP championship in 2021, will ⭕field only two bikesꦍ on the 2023 grid after losing their RNF satellite team to Aprilia.

They hope a call to Rossi, whose legendary status is synonymous with his heyday at Yama🎀ha, could ♋result in his VR46 squad switching allegiance from their current Ducati home.

“For us it is a great honour that Yamaha is pushiඣng to have us, and we are very pleased,” said team manager Uccio Salucci.

“But we have a contract with Ducati un꧅tiไl the end of next year and we will respect it.

“In the futur♉e, who knows? But we are interested in having competitive bikes.

“If Yamaha, after꧂ 2024𒀰, have strong bikes then we are open to anything.”

The Mooney VR46 team will again field exciting young duo 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marco Bezzecchi and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Luca Marini this season.

“From the middle of the championship we were strong with both rider🌱s,” Salucci reꦯflected on last year.

“In the beginning, Luca suffꦯered more but if t🌄here is a fault, it was ours. We did not yet have the situation in hand and managing a factory bike was difficult.

“Then the team workedꦚ well - Bezzecchi got on the podium and won Rookie of the Year, Luca had two ꦍfourth-place finishes.

“We fought for t♕he positions that matter and, as I always tell my boys, that’s the the most important thing. You have to b🍸e protagonists.”

This season, Bezzecchi and Marini will profit from using a 2022-spec Desmosedici - the bike that Francesco Bagnaia becameജ champion with.

“We made this choice because it is ☂right to stay with a bike that we knew, not to risk like we did last year,” Salucci said.

“At the beginning of the season I hope it will g🃏ive us some advantages.

“Then from mid🌄-season, maybe even earlier, the official teams will grow and it will not be easy for us.”

S🦩o, must there be hope that Bezze꧂cchi or Marini could trouble the top names at the front of the grid?

“It is normal and right that we have more expectations,” Salucci ✃said. 🏅“We have more expectations internally too.

“Our riders are fast, they have more experience and I expect more, even if it is neverಌ easy.”

He saꦜid their hope is: “To try and fight in every race for a top-five pꦚosition, to get on the podium and even to win some races.”

Salucci said about the prospect of Sprint races: “Initially I was worried. I look at it from a prac🐟tical side and we had to regꦛroup.

“Carlo Casabianca, a tra🐻iner from the academy, has studied a different preparation for each riders so they are🎃 more explosive and we have more fuel.

“Mentally, it won’t be easy to manage two ꦅraces at the weekend. But as a show, it will be good for the fans.”
