Could Danilo Petrucci be a shock replacement for Joan Mir at the Misano MotoGP?
Petrucci, whoꦆ is just one point behind 🐠Jake Gagne in the MotoAmerica championship with two rounds to go,
A conte𒁃nder to join the factory Aruba.it Ducati team in WorldSBK next season, Petrucci would be making his premier class return for the first time since last year’s season-finale at Valencia, should Ducati grant him the opportunity of making a o🐈ne-off appearance.
Last seen in the colours of Tech 3 KTM, Petrucci’s best moments in Grand Prix racing came at Mugello (2019) an🐼d Le Mans (2020) when he to🅺ok victory on both occasions.
With the next MotoAmerica round not taking place until September 9-11, next weekend’s San Marino Grand Prix💫 wouldn’t see a clash in the two series’ schedules, thus opening the door for the Italian to make a sꦐensational return.
Who else could replace the 2020 MotoGP champion?
One name who won’t be riding in place of Mir is🏅 Suzuki test rider Sylvain Guintoli as the French rider continues to recover from his Suzuka 8🦩 Hours injury.
Guintoli has taken part in s꧅everal wildcards over🎀 the last few seasons and would have been the Japanese manufacturer’s first choice had he not been injured.
The only🍌 other contracted Suzuki rider that has experience in MotoGP is Xavier Simeon which would therefore make the Belgian rider an option to replace Mir.
