Official: Luca Marini stays at VR46 for 2024 - but Ducati still have free seats
His confirmation is another key piece of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2024 MotoGP rider line-up which raises questions about the rest.
Marini's retention by VR46 - the team that belongs to his brother Valentin❀o Rossi - was expected but, until the San Marino MotoGP, was not finalised.
It removes Ma🐭rini from the conversation about the vacant Pramac Racing seat, which Johann Zarco🌜 will leave behind to join LCR Honda.
Franco Morbidelli is the outstanding and likeliest candidate for Pramac. He has lost his seat a🌸t Yamaha.
Fabio di Giannantonio is also ✱expected to lose his Gresini ride, freeing up a second Ducati for 2024.
Marini, though, will rema🐎in alongside Marco Bezzecchi, who rejected Pramac to stick with VR46, in Rossi's team for next year.
This is Marini's thirdꦕ year in the premier class. He achieved a career-best result at the Grand Prix of the Americas in Texas, finishing second.
VR46 have enjoyed a breakthrough season this year largely thanks to Marini's teammate Bezzecchi who has won two grands prix (the first for the teไam).
Bezzecchi establishing himself as a title contender should act as inspiration for Marini to ꦐreplicate his feats next year.
