Rossi had shown up at the Red Bull Ring eℱarlier on Friday to keep a close eye on Bezzecchi and Luca Marini, his riders in his Mooney V🍷R46 team.
Bezzecchi was the ⛄fastest rider in Practice 2 on Friday afterꦏnoon.
He entered the weekend 47 points behind Franc༺esco Bagnaia, another VR46 Academy graduate, who leads the championship.
Bezzecchi is eꦿnjoying a breakthrough season and has emer꧑ged as a title challenger.
Rossi’s presence in the paddock may be for more than me꧒rely riding a scooter, though.
Bezzecchi is pushing back on Ducati’s ultimatum to choose a 2024-spec Pramac bike or a 2023 machine to stay at VR46 next sea🎃son.
He wants a factory bike but to re🍎main in his current team, and Rossi will inevitably want the same.
The seve💝n-time MotoGP champion and all-time legend also has the task of negotiating the long-term fℱuture of his Mooney VR46 team who could move from Ducati to Yamaha in 2025.
