The expected announcement, this mWednesday matin, of the officialization of the passage of the Australian Jack Miller in the official Ducati MotoGP team for the 2021-2022 seasons, at the same time launches a complex part of the game of musical chairs within the Italian brand. If, at Borgo Panigale, it is not yet clear who, of Andrea Dovizioso or Danilo Petrucci, Miller will replace, everyone knows – the main interested first – that it is Petrucci, moving winner of the 2019 Italian GP, who finds himself on the market.
–
He could rebound in the official Ducati team engaged in the world superbike, even if his agent assures that he is in contact with Aprilia, the second Italian brand engaged in MotoGP; a team which is still awaiting the outcome of the Iannone case (the Italian pilot, tested positive in Malaysia last fall, is suspended until next spring, his case being at the moment on the offices of the Arbitral Tribunal sports, in Lausanne).
–
Coming back to Ducati, the renewal of Dovizioso’s contract takes time, as the two parties are not in financial agreement. Miller at the factory, who in his place in the Pramac satellite team, with Francesco Bagnaia? It could be Johann Zarco, currently engaged in the third Ducati team or a “rookie” from the Moto2 class. The name of the Spaniard Jorge Martin, Moto3 world champion in 2018, circulates with insistence.
