Valentino Rossi heading to Valencia “to decide” VR46 MotoGP line-up
One of those is Fabio di Giannantonio, suddenly vi🦋ewed as favourite 💖;after his Qatar victory, but the other is not Moto2 star Fermin Aldeguer.
VR46 team director Alessio Salucci told Dorna’s 𒁏Jack Appleyard:
“We have two options. Val🐻e, the real boss, is also coming here to speak and in the next days we will try to find the right decision for us.
“I said ‘not ꦫdi Giannantonio’ [previously] because our project is a little bit more for rookie riders, but anyway in the last two or three races Fabio was unbelievable."
Saluccꦏi confirmed🍎 talks with di Giannantonio are now underway.
“We spoke a lot with Fabio 😼yesterday♕… Vale is coming here to decide.
“The second option is not Aldeguer. It’s one very young rider, but we wi🌃ll see in the next days.”
With Moto2 title runner-up Tony Arbolino saying he intends to test for 𒀰Marc VDS on Monday, 💃Manuel Gonzalez might be the 'young rider' in𒁃 question.
Gonzalez, 21, took his first🅠 Moto2 podꦜium for the VR46 Yamaha Mastercamp team in Qatar.
Although Marini's Repsol Honda deal i𝕴s yet to be officially confirmed it is considered a formality, with VR46 speakin𒁃g so openly about the need to find a last-minute replacement.
VR46’s new 💮rider will need to be on track alongside M﷽arco Bezzecchi at Tuesday’s Valencia test.
Salucci was also asked about resurfacing of rumours of VR46 swit෴ching ꦕto Yamaha machinery in 2025.
“I always speak with eve🌊ryone - Yamahไa, KTM and also Ducati, where we have the option for 2025 and 2026.
"Now it’s a bit too early. We will decide in the ♑middle of next year.”
