The factory Yamaha rider lost his seat when Alex Rins was signe👍d from LCR Honda a few races ago.

Since it was announced he would leave Ya🧜maha, with whom he’s spent the last five seasons w🔯ith, a switch to Pramac soon became the talk of the paddock.

• MotoG꧙P: F♈rancesco Bagnaia: “New front pressure regulation is a bit of a disaster” 
• Espargaro still ‘in ൲a relearning process” calls ♕Indian GP “an important check”

That was especially true when Marco Bezzecchi decided to reject Pramac in order t♊o stay with the Mooney VR46 Ducati outfit.

Speaking about the addition of Morbidelli to Pramac, Ducati General 🅷Manager Luigi Dall’Igna said: "It is a pleasure for us to welcome Franco Morbidelli to our factory-supported Pramac Racing team for the upcoming sports season, 👍riding an official Desmosedici GP. 

"Franco is a rider of great talent and experience, and on more than one occasion, he has demonstrated ⛦his strength and speed. 

"It's no coincidence that in 2020, he was the MotoGP vice-world champion, winning three Grand Prix races. We are confident that, together with the Pramac Racing team 🤪and thanks to our support, he will be able to show his full potential. 

"We look❀ forwa𒀰rd to embarking on this new exciting adventure together."

Morbidelli’s swi🅠tch to Pramac means they, along with the factory Lenovo and Mooney VR46 teams have confirmed their rider line-up for next season.

The only team not to do so is Gresini, with Marc Marquez continuing to be linked with a move away from🌠 Honda.

In terms of his t༺eam, Pramac Team Prinicipal Paolo Campinoti is confident of seeing Morbidelli back where ‘he deserves’ to be.

"I am very happy 🐷that Franco is joining our family for 2024. I have an꧂ excellent relationship with him, and he has proven to be a champion on many occasions. 

"I am confident that in our team, he will find the right conditions to fight for th✱e positions he deserves."
