Falling upwards into a Pramac Ducati seat after three consecutive world championship finishes outside of the top 12 required a confluence of circumstances – Johann Zarco didn’t want Pramac’s one-year deal, and Marco Bezzecchi wanted to stay put at VR46 – and might just be the shot in the arm his career needs after three forgettable years at the factory Yamaha squad.
Morbidelli’s technical acumen is renowned and, provided he can stay uninjured (a big ‘if’ in recent years), the move to the 2023 teams’ champion squad could resuscitate his career.
