With Johann Zarco who has decided to jump on a Honda that no one wants by abandoning a Ducati that everyone dreams of, the transfer market still promises a few major surprises before its close, expected for the next Grand Prix on the side of the Catalonia. Because it is not common to find yourself at this stage of the season with the best bike yet to be taken, what is more within a structure which benefits from official treatment from its manufacturer which dominates the category . However, this is indeed the case of this Ducati Pramac which seems intended for a Franco Morbidelli who did not even dare to think about it until recently, given his career over the last three years. But another of his colleagues has his sights set on it. However, he would have to make a big financial sacrifice before he could get on it...
And this driver is a Joan mir who can't take it anymore Honda, even if it were in the colors of Repsol. War paints that have already mesmerized Jorge Lorenzo, Alex Marquez et Pol Espargaro, to their greatest misfortune. The 2020 MotoGP World Champion who also won the Moto3 title is added to this list of disappointed people. With 5 points on the clock at this stage of the season, the 25-year-old driver has even thought about retirement. And for good reason: the RC213V of the singing tomorrows is not even under construction at HRC yet. So what ?
Marc Marquez he himself paused on the subject. For Joan mir, this perspective of the Ducati Pramac is like an unexpected lifeline. But to seize it, he would have to give up everything, and even a little more, from an economic point of view... The fact remains that the trend is there, and it is known to the paddock, and therefore to Honda. We thus read from Carlo Pernat on GP One : " As far as Mir is concerned, we might have a surprise next season. From the information I have, Mir will probably leave Honda and go to Ducati. This is the information I have ».

Ducati is spoiled for choice
This Ducati, we saw her at Gresini, which, by the way, is still just as free in theory. Tony Arbolino has in fact given up on it, renewing with Marc VDS to continue in Moto2, while the trend Jake dixon ended with the announcement of its renewal, with Guevera, at Aspar in the intermediate category. So there is still a possibility there. But Pramac is still more of the standard of a Joan mir ...Ricard Jové, regular contributor to DAZN, does not contradict the rumor, but he points out that all this would certainly upset the economic situation of the Mallorcan...
We read thus on Todocircuito : " It's true, and it's something I know, that the option of Mir exists. But I can also say that I doubt it will be carried out, because the offer is so low that I would not do it. I don't think, and this is my guess, that it's worth Mir paying a termination clause that is in his Honda contract, because he will lose money directly ". Now it's all about knowing what you want. But this situation shows to what extent Ducati has become the dominant force in MotoGP. Soon, drivers will pay to ride a Desmosedici, which is already partly the case for Alex Marquez part of whose salary is paid by Estrella Galicia.
