Morbidelli Joins Ducati Pramac Team
Italian Rider Leaves Yamaha for New Opportunity
Morbidelli, three-time MotoGP race winner and 2020 World Championship runner-up, will join the Ducati Pramac team in 2024.
The announcement comes just days before the India GP weekend and has shaken up the rider market ahead of the upcoming season. Morbidelli has struggled for form in recent years but remains a highly talented rider with the potential to challenge for race wins and the championship.
Morbidelli's departure from Yamaha marks the end of a long and successful partnership. He has been with the Japanese manufacturer since 2019 and has been one of their most consistent riders in that time. However, he has been unable to replicate the form that saw him finish second in the championship in 2020.
Ducati Pramac will be hoping that Morbidelli can rediscover his best form and help them challenge for the top teams in MotoGP. The Italian team has been a consistent presence in the midfield in recent years but has yet to challenge for wins or the championship. Morbidelli's arrival could be the catalyst they need to make the next step.
