If Marini's landing at Tech3 on the KTM, filling Vinales' seat is no small pressure. It comes down to whether he can get that throttle feel dialed in fast. Miller heading for Yamaha's WSBK squad tracks more than it surprises, from what I've seen out there.

Wasn't Petrucci a MotoGP guy originally? Too many moves to track.

Miller heading to Yamaha WSBK — shame, Honda was reportedly in the mix too.

Marini stepping in for Vinales at Tech3 is a heavy ask, no?

Multi-year deal though, means KTM's genuinely serious about him.
