Joan Mir “in negotiations” to join Ducati next season

He is “in negotiations for seꩲveral situations”, report, al𒐪l of which would see him leave Honda.
The Gresini Racing team is the spot that Mir is ꦑeyeinꦫg within the Ducati set-up.
A seat is expected to become free if they d♈ispense with Fabio di Giannantoni♑o, but Mir is not the only candidate to fill it.
Tony Arbolino is linked with a step-up from Moto2, and Johann Zarco is also rumoured as part of a reshuffle involving Marco Bezzecchi perh🍬aps moving to Pramac.
“It is not certai🥂n that Mir will win it,” the report states, however his interest gives Ducati another fascinating option for their 2024 rider line-up.

Mir is mid-way through his first year as a Repsol Honda rider and, contractually, they are able to keep him for next🦄 season.
But he has endured a miserable time t⭕his season, perhaps even worse than tea🌌mmate Marc Marquez.
He has completed only one grand pꦡrix - the season-opener in Portimao - and his campaign has been littered with crashes.
Mir is currently re🅷habbing from an injured hand but is expected to be back in time for Silv🐻erstone on August 6.
Mir wꦫon the 2020 MotoGP championship with Suzuki and is hoping to recl🍎aim those glory days.
