All the spotlights point to him and there are many unknowns regarding his future. Luca Marini wants to finish the season in the best possible way, although right now His biggest concern will be knowing what bike he will compete with next season. With an offer on the table from Repsol Honda, the one from Urbino already has the approval of his brother to change structure.
On the previous day of the Qatar Grand Prix, the Italian rider has admitted that Ducati is a favorite for this weekend, especially considering its historically great performance on the Losail track: “This is a circuit where Ducati goes very strong every year and wins races, so I think it will be another good track for us, although it will not be easy because everyone is in excellent shape and Jorge and Pecco are fighting for the championship and here they will also fight for the victory.”
He has been the protagonist of the paddock in recent hours and it is no wonder. Luca Marini could leave his current motorcycle to get on the Honda RC213V left by Marc Márquez free at the end of this season. If that were to happen, the Italian rider would leave the world champion bike last season for one that he needs to regain the path of victory and he would do so for a bi-annual contract with the Repsol Honda Team.
The Mooney VR46 Racing Team driver has commented that he does not know what his future will be for next season, something that bothers him, especially considering that the 2023 campaign ends next week, but he hopes to have news in the next few weeks. journeys: “I can’t say anything because I still don’t know anything. The situation is that of Sunday after the race. These are difficult circumstances for me too and I would like to have more time, given that Valencia is next week. I’m waiting too, we’ll see. The best thing I can do now is focus on this weekend and try to get a good result in Losail too.”
Regarding this, #10 has assured that it is a natural move with the intention of continuing to improve professionally and that for him it does not mean breaking a stage that has been crucial for him: “I don’t see it being a strange situation, every year there are changes in the teams. For me it is simply about trying to do my best and achieve good performance, Because in the end my job is to ride the bike as best I can and work well with the team and the engineers, I think we are doing well.”
There have been many critical voices that have stated that the relationship between the VR46 Academy and Marini had already come to an end, something that the Italian has pointed out is incorrect and that he has only changed part of his routine: “I always go to the Ranch. I changed my training style, but nothing has changed with my classmates at the Academy. The situation is perfect, we go to dinner together every week.”
