After Marco Bezzecchi, the Mooney VR46 Racing Team confirmed Luca Marini’s stay in MotoGP for the next season. The rider has been with VR46 since Moto2 in 2018, moving up to the premier class in 2021.
During these years, the Italian achieved his first podiums in the World Championships, in addition to being the Moto2 runner-up. In the current season, he is in seventh place in the MotoGP World Championship, having already stepped onto the podium and being a constant presence in the top ten.
The team director, Uccio Salucci, stated in a press release: ‘I am very pleased to confirm that Luca will also stay with us in 2024. It will be the seventh season with the team and this is a truly significant recognition of trust for all of us and all of our partners who support the project. Confirming a team growing with the support of Ducati has a symbolic meaning. Luca is a committed worker, always precise, focused on details, and this is a real asset in today’s MotoGP. Fast, consistent, and very solid, I think he has achieved less than he deserves so far and I hope he can make the most of it in these remaining races and in the future‘.
