Apart from the shaking up of the 2025 Racer Line Up Constellation, the Silly Season Update has also affected the team line ups, especially satellite teams and the public who are waiting for the finalization of the fate of Pramac Racing 2025; Are you still with Ducati or have you moved to Yamaha? Indeed, at the Mugello GP, the Pramac Racing team manager assured the public first that Pramac would use the GP25 before the official report came. However, Pramac Racing Owner Paolo Campinoti in the latest information still seems to show that this is still not official and paddock rumors suggest that Pramac has until the end of June 2024 to make his decision.
Yamaha itself has been very confident since the start of the 2024 season that it will have another satellite team in 2025. Before resigning, team principal Lin Jarvis was even quite confident even though he still didn’t dare to say the name of the team at that time. How are the updates on Yamaha? In general, the team name that is often mentioned is Pramac Racing, not VR46 or Gresini. In an interview with spedweek, Yamaha MotoGP project technical director Massimo Bartolini revealed: “I think we are in a fortunate position to have a customer team. This will be an important foundation to support development.”
Bartolini continued: “If it works for next season, then it will be very useful for the project. But to be honest, at the moment I don’t know if this can work because a lot will depend on Ducati’s decision. Yamaha’s current opportunity is not very big, but the opportunity is still there. The game is not over yet.”
It’s quite interesting to hear that Yamaha’s fate in having a satellite team depends on another manufacturer, namely Ducati. However, what is generally visible on the public side is that after major decisions have been decided by Martin and Márquez, in general the negotiators can now quickly reach an agreement because the line-up puzzle has begun to open up.
