The Yamaha rider is seeking a new seat for the 2024 MotoGP rider line-up after being axed by his current employers﷽.

He is expected to join Pramac Ducati, although another free seat should also pop up within Ducati’s ranks ꩵat Gre🦩sini.

The gossip in the San Marino MotoGP paddock is that news will be confirmed this weekend, and Morbidelli said: “I🎃 have the feeling that we will know something soon. How soon? I don’t know𝓰.”

Last week he insisted that he ha൲d a preference between the available options - an apparent nod towards the ‘24 Desmosedici that is up for grabs at🔯 Pramac.

Morbidelli will test for Yamไaha on Monday even though he won’t ride next year’s bike.

“There are some things that𓄧 I am going to test,” he said.🐓 

“And some things, for sure,ﷺ that I’m not going to test because it’s useless for me.ꦺ”

Morbidel🐷li was asked if, with his future almost secure away from Yamaha, he was free to simply enjoy the🦋 remaining races of 2023.

“No, no. I try to keep everything🗹 as professional as pꦡossible, as on point as possible,” he answered.

“It’s my job to do e🃏verything to make the blue bike arrive a𒉰s in front as possible.

“To do that, I believe 🌠you need to keep focused. Do your jobꦯ. Don’t lose anything on the way.”

Morbidelli was asked if the pressure was off, as Yamaha not longer had many aspirations for this 🍬season.

“Not at all,” he said. “This a home race weekend.

“We have to d🎐o an extra job here. We will try to make the perfe🦂ct job, as we can. As we did in Barcelona, more or less. But with a better Sunday afternoon.”

He was asked if Misano was a track he might expect the Yamaha to suit, but replied: “Notꦦ at all. More than half of the championship is through, we’ve been through grippy tracks, long tracks, sharp tracks, everything. 

“We pretty mu🎐ch know the performance of our package.

“But you can always do extra that allows you to🐼 make a good perfor🐬mance.”
