Rossi had shown up at the Red Bull Ring earlier on Friday to keep a close ඣeye on Bezzecchi and Luca Marini, his riders in his Mooney VR46 team.
Bezzecchi was the fastest rider in Practice 2 🔴on Friday afternoon.
He entered the weekend 47 points behind Francesco Bagnaia, another VR46 Academy graduate, who l⛎eads the championship.
Bezzecchi is enjoying a breakthrough season an🧸d has emerged as a title 🐽challenger.
ꩵRossi’s presence in the paddock may be for more than merely riding a scooter, though.
Bezz✨ꦛecchi is pushing back on Ducati’s ultimatum to choose a 2024-spec Pramac bike or a 2023 machine to stay at VR46 next season.
He wants a factory bike but to remain in his current team, and Rossi will ꦅinevitably want th🌠e same.
The seven-time MotoGP champion and all-time legend also has the task of negotiating the lon🦄g-term future of his Mooney VR46 team who could move from 𓄧Ducati to Yamaha in 2025.
