Official: Franco Morbidelli joins Pramac Ducati for 2024 MotoGP season
The factory Yamaha rider lost his seat to Alex Rins from LCR Honda a few races ago. There was speculation about his next move, and it soon became clear that a switch to Pramac was likely. However, Marco Bezzecchi’s decision to stay with Mooney VR46 Ducati changed the dynamics. Nevertheless, Pramac was pleased to welcome Franco Morbidelli to their factory-supported team for the upcoming season. Ducati General Manager Luigi Dall’Igna praised Morbidelli’s talent and expressed confidence in his ability to show his full potential. With Morbidelli’s addition, Pramac, Lenovo, and Mooney VR46 have now confirmed their rider line-up for next season. Gresini is the only team that has not yet announced their line-up, and there are ongoing rumors about Marc Marquez potentially leaving Honda. Pramac Team Principal Apolo Campinoti believes that Morbidelli will have the right conditions to compete at the level he deserves.
