The transfer market is getting a little more agitated in MotoGP with this certainty coming from Italy that between Pecco Bagnaia and Ducati the renewal of the contract would soon be announced. The new lease covering the period 2023-2024 would arrive even before the Sepang tests. A formality which opens negotiations for the second official handlebar where internal competition is more than tough...
With his status as vice-world champion, his four victories in the last six races, five of which were tackled from pole position, Pecco Bagnaia has more than earned the trust of a factory Ducati also delighted to see its bet on youth succeed. Because, behind, follow George Martin, who openly declared himself a candidate for official position for 2023, and bastianini, author of two podiums with a two-year-old bike last year.
Ducati is playing the youth card to the fullest. And Johann Zarco?
Two names that put a Jack Miller to the wall. The Australian will have to mark his entry territory into this 2022 season. An existential anguish which does not affect a Pecco Bagnaia by the more than virtual leader of the troops of Borgo Panigale, whatever may be said Gigi Dall'Igna. According to Sky Sports, a press release could arrive before the IRTA tests planned for early February on the circuit of Sepang.
The Borgo Panigale house will then be in no hurry to decide on the name of its second pilot. She will give Jack Miller the chance to fight for confirmation. But the feeling is that the future is all for the young. It will be recalled that Johann zarco, in his late thirties, is favored by Paolo Campinoti, boss of Pramac, and who wants to keep it for 2023.
