The factory Yamaha rider lost his seat when Alex Rins was signed from LCR Honda a few ཧraces ago🎃.

Since it was announced he would leave Yamaha, with whom he’s spent the last𝐆 five seasons with, a switch to Pramac soon became theꦍ talk of the paddock.

That was especially true when Marco Bezzecchi decided to reject Pramac in ordeꦓr to stay with the Mooney VR46 Ducati outfit.

 

Speaking about the addition of Morbidelli to Pramac, Ducati General Manager Luigi Dall’Igna said: "It is a pleasure for us to welcome Franco Morbidelli to our factory-supported Pramac Racing team for the upcoming sports season, riding an o🐼fficial Desmosedici GP.&nbs🍒p;

"Franco is a rider of great talent and experience, and on more than one occasiღon, he has demonstrated his strength and speed. 

"It's no coincidence that in♔ 2020, he was the MotoGP vice-world champion, winning three Grand Prix races. We are confident that, together with the Pramac Racing team and thanks to our support, he will be able to show his full pot🌄ential. 

"We look forwardꦦ to embarking on this new exciting adventure together."

Morbidelli’s s🐎witch to Pramac means they, al✅ong with the factory Lenovo and Mooney VR46 teams have confirmed their rider line-up for next season.

The only team not to do so is🐷 Gresini, wi🥂th Marc Marquez continuing to be linked with a move away from Honda.

In terms of his team, Pramac Team Prinicipal Paolo Campinoti is confident of ൩seeing Morbidelli back where ‘he deserves’ to be.
