Team dir�ꦗ�ector Maio Meregalli said at the Sachsenring: “Franco, during last year, worked a lot to adapt to our bike.

“This year he is doing better than last year.

“Usually, the time for us to discuss and decide is just before the 🌳break.

“We ♔still have two r⛄aces to go. Then we will decide what to do.

“You have to wait a few more races before knowi🅺ng what we will decid𒁃e.

“I prefer to avoid talking⛦ about this. It’s a bit ea🌺rly.”

Press♊ed for Yamaha’s alternative options for their 2024 seat, he added: “We have a rider in mind - Franco is one of these few.

“Please wait.”

Morbidelli is out of contract at the end ♒of this season and♌ has been under threat of being replaced for the entirety of 2023.

Jorge Mart꧂in and Marco B✱ezzecchi are among the names considered to replace him although they may not easily be tempted away from Ducati.

🐷Fabio Quartararo, Yamahꦉa’s star man, is contracted throughout 2024.

Morbidel๊li has a potential fall꧙-back option of joining Mooney VR46 next year if they lose Bezzecchi.

His performance this weekend♌ in Germany will be scrutinised like never before, with his future at stake.
