Franco Morbidelli’s Next Move: Pramac or VR46? Unraveling the Uncertainty of MotoGP’s Silly Season
What will be Franco Morbidelli's destination following MotoGP's chaotic transfer period?
Will it be Pramac or VR46? Which team will Franco Morbidelli join in 2025?
The future of Franco Morbidelli has received little attention during this busy period of speculation in the racing world.
However, what he does next is unclear, and numerous factors will play a role in determining his course of action.
The Pramac Ducati rider is currently unaware of the motorcycles his team will be using in the upcoming year.
Pramac has a deadline of July 31 to choose between continuing as a Ducati satellite team or switching to Yamaha.
For a rider, the distinction lies in having the top-performing bike in the lineup versus the underperforming M1.
If Pramac transitions to Yamaha, the ensuing question is: which team will take over the factory-spec Ducati?
The VR46 team is believed to be the frontrunners to acquire the GP24, enhancing their appeal significantly.
The contracts for their riders, Marco Bezzecchi and Fabio di Giannantonio, are set to expire this year.
However, Bezzecchi is expected to land the factory Aprilia seat, which could open up a spot.
It is logical for Morbidelli to join VR46, given that Valentino Rossi is his mentor.
Joining Rossi's crew's garage will enable Morbidelli to stay with the official Ducati team, albeit in a different livery.
Morbidelli, who was let go by Yamaha following a heavily scrutinized season last year, had his early 2024 disrupted by an injury.
An accident in preseason trials dashed his dreams of a strong beginning with Pramac.
Nevertheless, securing sixth place at Mugello and seventh at Le Mans has highlighted his abilities.
Pramac is aware that they will be losing Jorge Martin, their current championship leader, next year, but the future of Morbidelli remains uncertain.
