So, no longer a rumour, Marini confirmed at HRC.
The Brivio rumour has changed though. Both Brivio and Puig are saying that they have contracts with their current employers until end 2024, so it looks like VR's approval to let Marini go (on a two year deal) was based on a commitment of HRC to replace Puig at the end of next year, not now.
Some Spanish sites are still saying today that Aldeguer is favourite to replace Marini, but others are saying that the "get out clause" for Aldeguer was only if no Boscoscuro bike ended in the top 5, so as Aldeguer himself finished 3rd, he can't go even if he wanted to, at least contractually speaking. I guess they need to confirm soon!
