What's going on at Valentino Rossi's academy? We know that the partner of the VR46 teams called Sky wants to reduce the sail, at best, while the school benches of the Tavullia ranch will soon be empty of Foggia and Bulega. But not only that… Now we learn that Lorenzo Baldassarri is also heading towards the exit…
Lorenzo Baldassarri had joined the VR46 academy in 2015 and, in 2019, he seemed to be able to succeed Franco Morbidelli et Pecco Bagnaia first in Tavullia's class. Height of 1m83, holder of the record of the ranch track, he seemed in morphology as in velocity, to be closer to the master Valentino Rossi.
However, the adventure will not go any further. Lorenzo Baldassarri decided to stand on his own two feet and that's a certain Simone Battistella who will now manage the interests of the pilot. As he takes care of those of Dovizioso as well as Baptist.
We do not know the reasons which led to this breakup, but it comes at a time when negotiations for a move up to MotoGP through the Ducati of the Avintia team are tightening. The 22-year-old Italian is announced as a favorite for a position declined by Alex Marquez but that Remy Gardner hope too. Which means that Tito Rabat sees his chances of keeping his place taking a hit.
It will be recalled that the season of Baldassarri in Moto2 had started perfectly with three victories in four races, before experiencing a setback. A period thatAlex Marquez took advantage of its turn to line up successes to now lead the championship. The Italian slipped to fourth overall, 39 points behind the leader. Worse, he is behind his teammate Fernandez for five points.
