Now Dovizioso has been secured, Ducati's attention will turn ꦑto the much tougher question of who 🦋to place alongside the Italian.
The likes of Lorenzo, Danilo Petrucci and Jack Miller have all been mentioneꦆd in connection with the seat.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marque🌠z’s injury issues.
