Crew boss David Munoz, data technician Matteo Flamigni and trainer Idalio Gavira will take on all roles in the VR46 Ducati team, which Luca Marini and Marco Bezzecchi will use in their debut season as a full entry into the premier class.
“I don’t know if it’s official, but I think my team – David, Matteo – will work with us [at VR46]. I think one of them with my brother and the other with Bezzecchi, “said Rossi.
“Idalio Gavira, my coach, will also work for us and coach both drivers. [All three] I have a lot of experience working at the top so it’s good to have that experience for our team. “

Munoz’s departure means the new RNF Yamaha team, which will take over the SRT grid slots and satellite Yamaha machines from 2022, will have to find a new crew chief for rookie Darryn Binder.
