Morbidelli secures Pramac Ducati seat for MotoGP 2024 after Yamaha split
Franco Morbidelli, a member of Valentino Rossi’s VR46 Academy, will be riding for Pramac Racing in the 2024 season on one of their Desmosedici GP24 bikes, replacing Johann Zarco who is moving to Honda. Morbidelli, the 2017 Moto2 champion, had been linked to a move to Ducati for some time, but the opportunity to join Pramac arose when Marco Bezzecchi decided to stay with VR46. Pramac team boss Paolo Campinoti expressed his excitement about Morbidelli joining the team and believes he will have the right conditions to compete for top positions. Ducati general manager Gigi Dall’Igna expressed his pleasure in welcoming Morbidelli to the Pramac Racing team and believes he will be able to show his full potential with their support. The announcement by Pramac leaves only the Gresini team, another satellite Ducati team, to announce their rider lineup for 2024.
