In the Valentino Rossi clan, if we temper the rise of VR46 colors in MotoGP until putting it back in 2022, on the academy drivers' side, on the other hand, we are pushing the wheel. There are already Franco Morbidelli and Pecco Bagnaia, two Moto2 World Champions. The first city is now a winner in the premier category. The second narrowly missed this opportunity during Misano 2. In 2021, Enea Bastianini will be among the elite, and he is not a member of the label that the standard of the Italian next generation wants to carry. So one of the students must follow Carlo Pernat's protégé. And Luca Marini holds the rope…
Luca marini could find himself in MotoGP in 2021. Not only because he is the brother of Valentino Rossi, but also because he currently leads by 5 points in front bastianini the Moto2 championship. He is therefore a potential World Champion. And the decision-makers in the major Grand Prix discipline are not going to wait for the verdict at the end of the seven remaining races to decide on the last drivers to hire...
Enea Bastianini did the brakes George Martin et Luca marini to sign a contract Ducati which assures him of his sesame towards the top of the paddock food chain. Valentino Rossi and his academy could not fail to react to this promotion. Especially since things are moving on theAvintia, thus offering an unexpected opportunity. At Ducati, we comment through Paolo Ciabatti : " Luca Marini's place depends on the team and Tito Rabat », Declares the sporting director of Ducati to 'Sky Sport Italia'.
“It would be great because Ducati is competitive »
« Our goal is to place Enea Bastianini. We will officially announce it as soon as possible. There is a bit of turmoil in this situation at the moment, but we will resolve this before the Barcelona race ". Which is for this weekend. In the meantime, the contract Valentino Rossi with Petronas should be revealed. So why not kill two birds with one stone with the half-brother in MotoGP?
Until then shy on the subject, Vale is now more precise: “ we are talking to Ducati if there is a chance next year that Luca can compete in MotoGP at Avintia-Ducati. It would be great because Ducati is competitive. They invest a lot in MotoGP. They are also now counting on young drivers. I think it would be very good for him if he could ride for Ducati. But now the important thing is that he focuses on Moto2 and wins the world championship ».
The message got through. Will it be heard? In any case, the VR46 team is not concerned by a climb: “ our team will not be in MotoGP in 2021, but a lot will change for 2022 " has recalled Valentino Rossi...
