Ex-MotoGP and current Dakar rider Danilo Petrucci has confirmed a move to MotoAmerica with Ducati is being strongly considered for 2022.
The Italian, who is competing in not only his first ever Dakar, but first ever rally-raid event, finished stage four which is considered one of the toughest of the event in third position.
Should Petrucci make the switch to MotoAmerica with Ducati then it will be in the shape of a full factory set-up, the same as another former MotoGP rider Loris Baz had in 2021.
But with that said, Petrucci signing for Ducati could also see Sykes less likely to join him due to a top ride being snapped up.
