The Yamaha rider is seeking a new seat fo🀅r the 2024 MotoGP rider line-up after being axed by his current employers.

He is expected to join Pramac Ducati, ไalthough another fr𒁏ee seat should also pop up within Ducati’s ranks at Gresini.

The gossip in the San Marino MotoGP paddock is that news will be confirmed this weekend, and Morbidelli said: “I have the feeling that we will know somethꦬing soon. How soon? I don’t know.”

💞Last week he insisted that he had a preference between the available options - an apparent nod towards the ‘24 Desmosedici tha🌠t is up for grabs at Pramac.

Morbidelli will test for Yamaha 𒈔on Monday even though he won’t ride next year’s bike.

“There are some things that I am going to test,” he said.♌ 

“And some things, for𒉰 sure, that I’m not going to test because it’sꦦ useless for me.”

Morbidelli was asked if, with his future almost secure away from Yamaha, 𓂃he was free to simply enjoy the remaining races of 2023.

“No, no. I try to keep everything as professional as possible, as on p𒁃oint as possible🔜,” he answered.

“It’s my job to do everything to𝓡 make the blue bike arrive as in front as 🅠possible.

“To do that, I believe you need to keep focused. Do your job. Don’t lose anything 💮on🍸 the way.”

Morbidelli was asked if the pressure was off, as Yamaha not longer had many aspirations💯 for this season.

“Not at all,” he said. “This a home race weekend.

“We have to do an extra job here. We will try to make the perfect job, as we can♌. As we did in Barcelona, more or less. But with a better Sunday afternoon.”

He was asked 🎃if Misano was a track he might expect the Yamaha to suit, but replied: “Not at all. More than half of the championship is through, we’ve b🌺een through grippy tracks, long tracks, sharp tracks, everything. 

“We pꦛretty much know the performance of our package.

“But you can always do extra tha👍t allows you to make a good performance.”
