After the rumors, the official announcement: Franco Morbidelli is confirmed as a rider for the Pramac Racing Team starting in 2024, where he will be paired with Jorge Martín. Both riders will have at their disposal the latest specification of the Ducati, the Desmosedici GP24.
MotoGP World Vice-Champion in 2020, Moto2 World Champion in 2017, and European Superstock 600 Champion in 2013, Franco Morbidelli will bring the Italian flag back to the Pramac Racing team garage for three seasons, something that has not happened since Francesco Bagnaia represented the team.
Paolo Campinoti, Team Principal of Prima Pramac Racing, couldn’t be happier: ‘I am very happy for Franco to join our family for 2024. I have an excellent relationship with him and he has proven to be a champion on many occasions. I am confident that in our team, he will find the right conditions to fight for the positions he deserves’.
The Team Director, Gino Borsoi, expressed his happiness at being able to count on the pilot: ‘It is an honor to have the opportunity to work with a champion like Franco. I have great confidence in him and his talent. I am sure he will feel very comfortable in our team and that, together, we will achieve great results’.
It is worth noting that the spot was open after Johann Zarco confirmed that he would be heading to LCR Honda.
