Marco Bezzecchi reveals his preference for VR46 - Ducati or Yamaha?

Valentino Rossi’s team have enjoyed a stunning start to the 2023 season, highlighted by Bezzecchi winning his own, and his team’s, first grand prix in Argentina and leading the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP standings after three rounds.
Rossi has toyed with the idea of switching his VR46 squad from Ducati bikes to Yamaha (the team which he was synonymo🧔us with) but Bezzecchi wants to remain.
“I've heard this from some journalists, but not from anyone inside,” Bezzecchi told about 🌌rumours of a move to Yamaha.
Asked if it was a concern, he said: “No, because after all, t♔hat's not my job.
▨“My job is to ride the bike that the team provides me. Now the team owns a Ducati, so I r൲ide a Ducati.”
He explained his own desire: “I would stay with Ducati. I felt very comfortable with Ducatওi from the very first moment. They are very supportive, which is🦩 why they deserve it.
“Since t💃hey are also Italians, it is easier for me to build a relationship.
“I like the way they work and especially the way they deal with rookies. They ha♋ve h🌳elped us a lot as a team, which is why I hope the team will continue with Ducati.
“But it's still too early; at the momenꦦt I just want to ride.”

Mooney VR46 are c🔴on🎀tracted to Ducati until the end of 2024.
Cleaജrly the Italian manufacturer currently has the best machinery on the MotoGP grid but Yamaha are close to Rossi’s heart - although they would have to put together an extremely tempting offer for the 2025 season.
Yamaha only have two bikes on the grid currently - a rꦰumour was that they could offer VR46 an opportunity to effectively become the Yamaha factory team.
But Rossi has said: “It’s difficult to be🍷 a factory team.
“Because for me they will always make the fact🌟ory team. We’ll see for th🔥e future.
“With Yamaha it would be nice. But we ꩲneed to see how competitive the bik🗹es are.
“We want to go to the r🦂aces hoping to🌱 finish at the front.
"Our ꦰresults also come because we have Ducati, which are scary.
“They are the best bikes and we were good for choosing them. That𒀰 makes all the difference."
Bezzecchi enters this weekend's Spanish MotoGP hoping 🗹to extend his unexpected lead at the top💞 of the standings.
