Morbidelli lost his ride with Yamaha for next season earlier this year as he continued to struggle to recapture his past form on the factory M1.
Initially linked to a switch to VR46 to ride a year-old Ducati next season, Marco Bezzecchi’s decision not to go to Pramac opened the door for 2020 championship runner-up Morbidelli to secure a factory-spec GP24.
Ahead of this weekend’s inaugural Indian Grand Prix, Pramac and Ducati confirmed Morbidelli’s signing for 2024.
This move will see all four VR46 Academy members on the current grid riding Ducati machinery.
“I don’t know if it will change for me and for us in terms of training,” Bagnaia said of Morbidelli’s appointment at Pramac Ducati.
“I’m just happy to have Franky on the Ducati because I think he deserves this possibility.
“For sure the last years in Yamaha for him were not the best situation possible.
