Between Avintia, Sky VR46, and Valentino Rossi, negotiations seem to be more than open. This Saturday, the two emissaries of the two teams that are Ruben Xaus and Pablo Nieto recognized that they had spoken about not only the fate of Luca Marini, but also the future of Avintia. Raul Romero would like to hand over the reins. But he still has a sense of business, so much so that Valentino Rossi called him to order about his brother…
Luca marini will he go to MotoGP in 2021. The person concerned obviously wants it and his big brother Valentino Rossi the support. However, this support will not come at any cost.

Ducati is called upon to decide
