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

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

“When he talks about his team, about ꦜValentino Rossi, he almost🌜 gets emotional.

“You can tell in his eyes.

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

“They are doing really we🌺ll with 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 mac🦄hinery.

“But there꧋’s no sense to go to another 🌄private team.

“The only ti💝me it makes sense tꦿo change is if he gets the chance to replace Enea Bastianini for factory Ducati.

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

“It꧙ doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, to move across to Pramac🗹.”

Bezzecchi fell 68 points behind championship leader Francesco Ba🦋gnaia, who won the Austrian MotoGPღ.
