MotoGP's Franco Morbidelli declined to address reports linking him to a factory Ducati World Superbike seat for 2027, telling reporters at the British GP 'I cannot talk about that right now.' He is set to lose his VR46 MotoGP seat to Nicolo Bulega next year, and is seen as the frontrunner for Bulega's vacated Ducati WSBK ride, competing with Moto2 points leader Manu Gonzalez.

Having watched this from the paddock, that 'I can't talk about it' is basically a done-deal signal nine times out of ten. It's a strange spot for a guy who finished runner-up in 2020 to be losing his seat now. If it's Bulega's vacated Ducati WSBK ride, Morbidelli's experience turns into results fast.

Is moving from MotoGP to WSBK a step down? I honestly don't know.

If you see it as chapter two instead of a demotion, this makes total sense.

Pushed out of VR46 but staying inside the Ducati family, that's a weird spot to be in.

Getting to watch Morbidelli in WSBK honestly sounds fun.

Never thought the guy who was runner-up in 2020 would end up here.

'Can't talk about it' is basically a done-deal flag.

That seat fight with Gonzalez, hard to call which way it goes.
