Brno MotoGP: Luca Marini being 'watched' by Ducati?
Slow progress in its negotiations with star rider Andrea Dovizioso has seen Du♔cati recently admit that Francesco Bagnaia might move to the official team next year, should no agreement be reached with the #4.
If that were to materialise,♏ it would, in turn, leave a space free at Pramac.
The satellite team currentlඣy runs Jack Miller alongside Bagnaia, with the Australian already confirmed as joining the Official Ducati team in 2021.
Sl🐷ow progress in its negotiations with star rider Andrea Dovizioso has seen Ducati recen🃏tly admit that Francesco Bagnaia might move to the official team next year, should no agreement be reached with the #4.
If that were to material♎ise, it would, in turn, leave a space free at Pramac.
The satellite te༺am currently runs Jack Miller alongside Bagnaia, with the Australian already confirmed ꦑas joining the Official Ducati team in 2021.
Ducati is yet to confirm any other riders for next year, but Moto2's Jorge Mart🐠in is believed to have reached an agreement for one of the Pramac seats.
It therefore looks like Pramac will have a Bagnaia-Mar꧟tin line-up in 2021.
But the ongoing doubts over Dovizioso's future mean Valentino Rossi's brother Lu♛ca Marini has recently been linked to Pramac, should fellow VR46 Academy rider Bagnaia be called up to take over Dovizioso's ride.
"The only thing confirmed is Jack will go to the Factory team and Pecco will be confirmed by&nꦚbsp;Ducati and it's not yet decided if he will ride for us or the Factory team," Pramac team manager Francesco Guidotti told the official MotoGP website.
"The priority🦩 for Ducati will be Dovi's confirmation. In case it will not happen they will consider Pecco as first choice. If Pecco goes to the factory team, we will consider from that moment [someone to replace him] and look at Moto2."
Marini, currently t꧃hird in the Moto2 standings with one victory and two podiums from𝓡 the three rounds this season, insisted he does not yet have any MotoGP offers, but added:
"It's an honour, a dream being watched by MotoGP guys and teams. I worked a lo🔜t to be at 100% this year, to be as fast and strong as I can because I feel very good and want to achieve great results here in Moto2.
"It would be great, fantastic [to be in MotoGP alongside Rossi and VR46 Academy riders Morbidelꦉli and Bagnaia]. I train with them now. I can seeﷺ everything. I try to ask them advice because MotoGP is the best in our sport and I want to understand as many things as possible even if I am in Moto2."
Peter has b🦩een in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
