It’s expected that Bezzecchi will remain with the Mooney VR46 Ducati team, and thus choose to forgo tꦉhe opportunity of riding a full factory bike at Pramac in 2024.

For contractual reasons, Ducati have confirmed that all four factory bikes can only go to their riders in th🦋e factory team and at Pramac.

• Bagnaia: Austria win “one of the best this seasonﷺ, front pressure on the limit” 
• Marc Marquez “a sorry story, he’s tryi💃ng to get out of Honda contract”

But Bezzecchi, who has been with the Valentino Rossi-led team since joining MotoGP last season, is thought to be keen on staying put which would mean♌ he uses the current bike that Bagnaia is aboard.

Speaking about his future after securing P3 in Austria, Bezz𝕴ecchi said: “Vale is pushing a lot to be honest and I really appreciate this. To be pushed but the goat is something no one in the world can say this. 

“I have already made my de🌞cision but I cannot tell you what I will do. Soon I will communicate 🍸it but it was fantastic to have this celebration [post-race] with Pecco and the VR46 riders.”

When asked about Rossi pushing him and what he meant by that, Bezzecchi added: "I think Vale is pushing⛦ mor𝔉e to have me in the team. 

🍌"We have spoken a lot and seen each other many times at home. He is pushing me a lot to stay and I’m happy for this."

After crashing out at Silverstone, and then being taking out in yes⭕terday’s sprint, Bezz༒ecchi was in need of a big result during today’s Grand Prix.

"I’m happy because first of all, it was important after two difficult races - Silverstone on the Sunday - and so to bounce back was good," said Bezzecchi. "It’s not easy starting from seventh positioไn but🐷 I managed to start well and then I was strong in braking. 

"I managed well the rear tyre and I could prepare every overt൩ake in a good way, except Alex who was very difficult to pass. 

"But I analysed where I ꦅwas stronger than him and in sector three I was gaining and tried to stay very close. 

"ꦗI prepared the overtake on the second to last corner and it, so this was really ni🦩ce."
