Joan Mir “in negotiations” to join Ducati next season

He is “in negotiations for severa🦂l🍨 situations”, report, all of which would see him leave Honda.
The Gresini Racing team is the spot that Mir ꧋is eyeing within the Ducati set-up.
A sea🍸t is expected to become free if they dispense with Fabio di Giannantonio, but Mir is not the only candidate to fill it.
🀅T꧟ony Arbolino is linked with a step-up from Moto2, and Johann Zarco is also rumoured as part of a reshuffle involving Marco Bezzecchi perhaps moving to Pramac.
“It is not certain❀ that Mir will win it,” the report states, however his interest gives Ducati another fascinating option for their 2024 rider line-up.

Mir is mid-way through his first year as a Repsol Honda rider and, contractually, they are able tܫo keep him 🃏for next season.
But he ha⛎s enduജred a miserable time this season, perhaps even worse than teammate Marc Marquez.
He has completed onཧly one grand prix - the season-opener in Portimao - and his campaign has been littered with crashes.
Mir is currently re𝔉habbing from an injured hand but is expected൲ to be back in time for Silverstone on August 6.
Mir won the 2020 MotoGP championship with Suzuki and is hoping t💖o reclaim those glory days.
