Valentino Rossi heading to Valencia “to decide” VR46 MotoGP line-up
One of those is Fabio di Giannantonio, 𒆙suddenly viewed as favourite a𒅌fter his Qatar victory, but the other is not Moto2 star Fermin Aldeguer.
VR46 team director Alessio Salucci told Dorna’s Jack ♍Apple﷽yard:
“We have two options. Vale, the real boss, is also cominဣg here to speak and in the next days we will try to find the right decision for us.
“I said ‘not ꧂di Giannantonio’ ⛎[previously] because our project is a little bit more for rookie riders, but anyway in the last two or three races Fabio was unbelievable."
Salucci confirmed talks with di Gianna🥃ntonio are now un🥂derway.
“We spoke a lot with Fabio yeste🐬rd𒉰ay… Vale is coming here to decide.
“The second option is not Aldeguer. It’s one very young ꧅rider, but we will see in the next days.”
With Moto2 title runner-up Tony Arbolino saying he inteౠnds to test for Marc VDS on Monday, Manuel Gonzalez might be the 'young r🍃ider' in question.
Gonzalez, 21, took his first Moto2 podium for the VR46 Yamaha Mastercamp �🧔�team in Qatar.
Although Marini's Repsol Honda deal is yet to be🥂 officially confirmed it i🐻s considered a formality, with VR46 speaking so openly about the need to find a last-minute replacement.
VR46’s new rider will need to be on track along♍side Marco Bꦡezzecchi at Tuesday’s Valencia test.
Salucci was also asked about resurfacing of rumours of VR46 switching t🧔o Yamaha machinery in 2025.
“I always 🍃speaꦡk with everyone - Yamaha, KTM and also Ducati, where we have the option for 2025 and 2026.
"Now it’s a bit too early. We will decide in the middle of next y𝐆ear.”
