Double grand prix winner Bezzecchi is at the centre of the key rider market moves for 2025, with the VR46 rider torn between remaining at his current squad or moving to Pramac.
A move to Pramac is Bezzecchi’s only chance of riding a works-spec Ducati in 2024, with VR46 to continue running year-old Desmosedicis.
Speaking to Sky Italia at the Austrian Grand Prix, MotoGP legend Rossi says his VR46 team’s “goal” is to retain both Bezzecchi and Luca Marini for 2024 and is urging the former to put his faith in his outfit.
“They have been very intense days, we have been with Bez a lot,” Rossi said of talks with Bezzecchi about his future.
"Our goal is to continue with both riders for 2024, both Luca and Marco.
“We have already talked to both of them and in my opinion, there are good possibilities.
“Unfortunately, we will almost certainly not have the official bike, because the other two official bikes have been given to Pramac.
