Valentino Rossi teases Luca Marini news with a cryptic social media post
The MotoGP legend shared an image, without a capti🐼on or explanation, of himself wearing Honda colours.
His brother 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Luca Marini is deep in tal🌳ks to become a Repsol Hond💜a rider next season.
Rossi's cryptic message appeared to confir💯m that Marini will follow in his footsteps by heading to the Japanese manufacturer in 2024.
Rossi won his first three world cha🔯mpionships in consecutive seasons while riding for Honda, between 2011-2003.
He later became more famous for his time with Yamaha, but his years at Honda were a cr🐓ucial step.
The intrigue today is that Marini, Rossi's siꦗbling, is replacing Marc Marquez, Rossi's hated rival.
But Rossi's social media post is the first indication that Marini's decision to leave VR46 and go to Honda has💟 his blessing.
VR46's Uccio Salucci previously insisted that the team would not attempt to stop Marini fꦓrom joining a factory team because they want to prioritise their💯 riders' progress.
Rossi's VR46 team have eಞnjoyed a breakthrough season in 2023.
Marco Bezzecchi, who until recently was firmly in the hunt for the championship, has impressed and had an offer to quit VR46's year-old spec bike for an up-to-date Pramac machine 🍰next season. But he refused, preferring to stay under Rossi's wing.
Surpisingly and somewhat out of nowhere, it now see♕ms that the VR46 rider to quit the🎶 team will be Marini.
