The big day has arrived and if it is not yet that of glory, it nevertheless marks a birth. That of a new team in MotoGP which settles within the walls of an existing one which will be rearticulated in Moto2 while improving its current Moto3 project. Marc VDS Racing will leave and the Angel Nieto structure will disappear for a Yamaha satellite team financed by Petronas. Perfect. But who will pilot these two M1s?
We can safely say that one of these motorcycles will be in the hands of Franco Morbidelli. And the second? You have to start preparing for it, the chances of seeing a Dani Pedrosa above have seriously diminished. Which implies that Petronas will have the same Yamaha treatment that Tech3 has always had. However, “Titanium” wants significant official involvement. Retirement is therefore looming for the three-time World Champion in the intermediate categories.
So who will be the lucky one? The recut Baptist and already close to Aspar Martinez since he spent his season with him on a Ducati is a logical favorite. But young people can assert their rights. fabio quartararo is well in the pipeline, but there is also a certain Lorenzo Baldassarri… Or another member of a VR46 Academy who is becoming more and more comfortable in the Grand Prix… To be continued…
