The questions left unanswered by Marco Bezzecchi’s decision
Bezzecchi has chosen to remain loyal to Valentino Rossi and stay with the MotoGP team instead of joining Pramac Ducati. While this means he remains with a top team and has familiarity, it could potentially make it harder for him to join the factory Ducati team in the future. Joining Pramac would have given Bezzecchi the chance to test himself against his competitors on identical machinery. However, Bezzecchi’s goal is to ride for a factory team and win a world title, even on a satellite bike and a year-old machine. While Bagnaia has been the dominant rider this season, Bezzecchi has shown great pace and has the potential to challenge him. With Zarco leaving, Martin is expected to have a new teammate in 2024 and Franco Morbidelli is a strong candidate to fill that void. Bezzecchi’s decision to stay with his current team may not impact whether they stick with Ducati or switch to Yamaha, but it could affect his competitiveness if Yamaha fails to make necessary improvements. Rossi’s team is considered the most likely satellite outfit to switch to Yamaha.
