The major 2024 rider shake-up which has long been anticipated is now expected to be confirmed, with Alex Rins i🍨n the process of succeeding Morbidelli.

Yamaha have offered Morbidelli a seat on an offici✃al RM1 in WorldSBK next season, report.

• “Agreement found” between Alex 🥀Rins and Ya🀅maha - but one hurdle to go 
• Valentino𒅌 Rossi and Marco 𝕴Bezzecchi get their wish; Ducati agree to key request

But Morbid🌞elli “wants to continue riding in MotoGP” and “has so far declined the offer”꧋, the report states.

He has just a few more days to deliver his final answer aboꦐut whether to accept the lifeline offerꦕed by Yamaha.

“By the Silverstone weekend🐠 he will still have to give an answer,” it is reported.

MotoGP returns next weekend, on ꦡAugust 6, at Silverstone.

M🤪orbidelli’s obvious Plan B to remain in MotoGP next season has always been a switch to the Mooney VR46 team, a place he knows well after graduating from the VR46 Academy.

But t♛hat option has now closed af🌠ter Marco Bezzecchi chose to stay alongside Luca Marini for 2024.

There ar🎀e now just two vacancies which M🦩orbidelli could swoop for.

Gresini Racing will likely have a spare seat when they dispense with Fa♊bio di Giannantonio.

Ho🐽wever, Moto2 star Tony Arbolino (backed by veteran manager Carlo Pernat) is also aไ candidate for Gresini.

LCR Honda will have a vacancy when Rins moves to Yamaha, giving Morbidelli a chance a💖t a straight-swap.
