Franco Morbidelli’s future has scarcely been mentioned a🍃mid a hectic silly seas𝓀on.

But his next step is ♒uncertain and there are many m꧟oving parts which will influence it.

The Pramac ♕Ducati rider does not even know whiဣch bikes his team will be riding next year.

Pram🌠ac have until July 31 to decide whether to remain a Ducati satellite 𒁏team or go to Yamaha.

The difference for a rider is to possess the best bike on the grid, 🅺or the struggling M1.

Should Pramac move to Yamaha, the question becomes🧸: who will inherit the factory-spec Ducati?

VR46 are thought to be in pole position to inherit the GP24, making them an e𒁃ven more attractive proposition.

Their riders - Marco Bezzecchi and Fabio di Giannantonio - also have expiring contracts tꦇhis year.

But Bezzecchiꦍ has been tipped to secure the factory Aprilia ride, creating a possible vacancy.

VR46 make obvious sense for ෴Morbidelli, whose mentor is V💜alentino Rossi.

Moving into Rossi’𝔉s team’s garage would allow Morbidelli to continue with the f🌟actory Ducati, but wear different colours.

Morbidelli, who was dropped by Yamaha aft🌺er a season of scrutiny last year, had the early part of 2024 ruined by injury.

A crash during preseas✅on testing 🐓wrecked his hopes of a fast start at Pramac.

However, f💖inishing sixth at 🙈Mugello and seventh in Le Mans has been a reminder of his qualities.

Pramac already know they will be without Jorge Martin, their championship leader, next year, but Morbide൩lli’s fate is up in the air.
