MotoGP 2020: Petrucci, Miller and Alex Marquez are on two motorcycles…

The manager of Alex Marquez, brother of whom you know, got in touch at Le Mans with the Ducati Pramac team to discuss a possible passage of the young Spanish in MotoGP next year … in place of Miller who would ride on Petrucci’s Desmocedici in 2020 ? There is one extra pilot … Explanations.

The MotoGP 2020 transfer window is starting earlier and earlier. Site readers – who, as everyone knows, have a little more RAM than others – remember that Valentino Rossi had drawn very early by signing a contract for 2019 and 2020 !

• MNC special file :

If the official handlebars are already 100% locked at Yamaha therefore, but also at Aprilia, KTM and Suzuki – and let’s say 99% at Honda for Lorenzo? -, there is still a place alongside Andrea Dovizioso at Ducati, currently occupied by Danilo Petrucci.

The Italian n ° 9 is indeed not guaranteed to play a second season within the official Ducati "chut-chut-pas-de-marque-de-cigarettes" team: his is encouraging, but certainly not enough. According to the "bookmakers", the pole position for the second factory Desmosedici is held by Jack Miller.

Like his compatriot Casey Stoner in his debut, the Australian No.43 is not consistent enough (two bubbles in five races in and in) to play the Top 3 in the championship, but he has been devilishly quick. and has already finished twice in front of "Petrux" !

Miller therefore refused to sign a one-year extension with his current team, Pramac … who would have liked to extend it alongside Bagnaia. The atmosphere will inevitably be affected in the coming weeks, especially as "Jackass" – remarkable – does not have his tongue in his pocket !

This week – virgin of any MotoGP or WorldSBK race – Miller went to the Barcelona circuit with a Panigale V4R, which he naturally a-do-re. On social networks, he explains that he also had "a lot of fun going to the circuit with the truck, unloading the bike, getting the tire pressures up, managing gasoline, changing the pads, like in the good old days" !

The 2014 Moto3 vice-world champion admits, however, that his short day of driving also makes him "appreciate having a great team around me" at the Grand Prix. And Miller to imagine it would be even more sensational with a … factory team. !

His foal donkey potentially on the start, Francesco Guidotti, boss of the Pramac team, must ensure his rear. "With Emilio (Alzamora, Marquez’s agent, Editor’s note), we met to see if there was a possibility of bringing Alex up. But it’s a normal process: when an agent asks to speak to us, we receive it. Just as we have other meetings scheduled. ".

Alex Marquez, who has just won his first race of the year at Le Mans, confirmed his interest in this project, explaining that he now feels sufficiently mature for the premier class. and last year: His CV is already well developed !

The n ° 73 could thus join his older brother who reigns head, shoulders and elbows on MotoGP at the controls of his official Honda … This hiring of the youngest of the Marquez siblings can also be seen as a disguised invitation to Ducati towards Marc Marquez: enough to make him dangle a possible association with his brother in the official team, if by chance the n ° 93 had his slap of the RCV !
