Would Morbidelli be tempted to work not alongside but directly for Valentino Rossi? The latter, with its new partnership found on the side of Saudi Arabia, has given new impetus to its VR46 project. He will thus anchor himself in MotoGP, with apparently all the means necessary to enjoy the best equipment that a manufacturer can offer him. Which also means the possibility of attracting the services of the best pilots. And they could be recruited from within its academy, of the same name as the future team, which would be logical for the overall coherence of the project. What do academicians think? One of them responded.
Le VR46 team will be a newcomer in 2022 on the starting grid of the MotoGP, in place of the Avintia team, where its colors already appear with Luca marini. And until 2026, given the resources announced, it should not do things by halves. An installation and ambitions which, inevitably, will weigh on the transfer market.
Valentino Rossi, the boss of the entire system is himself concerned as pilot of the current one-year contract. As the team will take the place currently held by Avintia, Marini et bastianini are also impacted. For the first city, it will be settled within the family. And the second made it known that his priority was to stay with Ducati. The Italian manufacturer is, for the moment, only one of the candidates to supply this VR46 team.
Morbidelli: “my contract has options to leave”
And then there are the eminent academicians who make their careers in MotoGP. bagnaia hit the mark by being an official Ducati. But Morbidely, although reigning vice-world champion, is not considered at the highest level at Yamaha and declared to Portimao looking for a future emotionally and technically more rewarding. So many parameters that the future team of those close to Tavullia seem to guarantee.
The Italian-Brazilian responded from this perspective. HAS Jerez, during the press conference he said: “ Vale announced the news of a new team, but let's not talk about those things. I'm trying to gather information, just to keep myself informed because there's no particular reason why I want this information, but they're very good at not giving me information (laughs). I'm not thinking about going to the new VR46 team, even though my contract has options to leave ».
He finishes : " i'm trying to overcome difficult times, it happened in the past, it will happen in the future and i hope to be strong enough to overcome them. I will do my best and try to keep the pace I took in Portimao ". To be continued…
