New Delhi:- Franco Morbidelli will lose his seat at Yamaha next season, but has set a deadline to decide on a new role. Morbidelli is expected to be replaced by Alex Rins, with the long-awaited major driver change set for 2024.
According to the Gazzetta report, Yamaha has offered Morbidelli an official World SBK RM1 seat for next season. 'Agreement found' between Alex Rins and Yamaha – but one hurdle still to clear and Valentino Rossi and Marco Bezzecchi got her wish. Ducati agrees to important demands

However, that option is gone now that Marco Bezzecchi has opted to remain in Luca Marini's squad until 2024. Right now, there are only two open positions that Morbidelli can jump into. Without Fabio Di Giannantonio, Gresini Racing will likely have a vacant seat.
