The competition to secure Pramac’s future has taken a fresh turn as negotiations continue between the satellite team and manufacturers Ducati and Yamaha.
Recent reports suggest that Pramac is leaning towards extending its partnership with Ducati, with an option to automatically renew the contract for two more years. This would allow Pramac to retain access to factory-spec bikes, a tempting proposition for the team.
However, Yamaha has also presented an enticing offer to Pramac, potentially shaking up the current arrangement.
Sources indicate that Pramac intends to delay its decision until July 31, the deadline to activate or disregard the contract clause with Ducati. The financial incentives from Yamaha are making the decision-making process more complex.
The outcome of Pramac’s decision will significantly impact the MotoGP landscape, particularly the rider line-up for the 2025 season. Whether Pramac continues with Ducati or switches to Yamaha will have implications for riders vying for seats in the upcoming season.
For Ducati, retaining Pramac and providing them with factory-spec bikes could offer more flexibility in the rider market. Conversely, if Pramac opts for Yamaha, Ducati’s options may become more limited.
Overall, the battle for Pramac’s allegiance highlights the intricate dynamics of the MotoGP paddock and underscores the strategic importance of satellite teams in shaping the sport’s future.
