The thing has been in the air since the start of MotoGP classes in Brno. And it is expected to be an official announcement at Silverstone, which will be the next stop of this Grand Prix season. Luca marini, who is the half-brother of Valentino Rossi, will leave the Forward team to join the Sky VR46 team for the 2018 Moto2 season. A prospect which hardly enchants Giovanni Cuzari, boss of Forward Racing.
To be honest, the latter announced on GP One of his weariness of seeing himself thus plundered of his pilots. He would have liked to keep Marini and fears having to lose Baldassarri who spoke with the Pons team. And we recall that both are members of the VR46 Academy.
He will still have to resolve to change since Silverstone should be the place where the Italian family reunion will be announced. Marini join Pecco Bagnaia while Open up will stay in Moto3. At Forward, we are approaching Cortese et Sam Lowes for the big replacement but also Fededico Fulligni et Yonny Hernandez.
