VR46 has confirmed to wuqian0821.com that they are ‘happy with Ducati’ and have the possibility of an ‘automatic renewal’ to continue running Desmosedicis for the 2025 MotoGP season.

‘But’ Valentino Rossi’s team also feels they ‘deserve more’ - presumably in terms of machine spec - after last yeꦗar’s stellar campaign, which saw Marco Bezzecchi finish third in the world championship with three wins on a year-old bike.

Bezzecchi and new team-mate Fa♏bio di Giannantonio remain on year-old machinery this season, but the GP23 i🌼s proving less competitive relative to its factory rivals compared to the GP22 of last year.

N𒉰egotiations with Ducati are thus continuing, with VR46 thought to be aiming for at least one factory-spec bike💧, which Bezzecchi turned down by electing to remain loyal to VR46 rather than switching to Pramac.

VR46 had also been in taꩲlks over a switch to Yamaha, where Rossi enjoyed his glory days and where he remains a brand ambassador.

But reports out of this week claimed VR46 have rejected Yamaha, who are keen to increase their presence oℱn the 2025 grid byꦬ adding a satellite project.

Meanwhile, Pramac’s future .

Despite enjoying preferential treatment as Ducati’s official satellite team, finishing second in last year’s world championship with Jorge Martin and leading the 20ꦛ24 standings heading into COTA this weekend, 🅰Pramac is surprisingly yet to commit to a new Ducati deal.

At t🍌he same time, there have been well-placed paddock rumours linking Pramac to Yamaha.

With a 'happyℱ' VR46 indicating its willingness to continue with Ducati, Yamaha might well need a (Pramac) Plan B if it is to secure a satellite team and end its current data diꦕsadvantage from running just two bikes.

For its part, Pramac could feel threatened by VR46’s quest for closer factory-spec Ducati ties and be attracted by longer-term stability at Yamaha, which is also likelyཧ to offer financꦡial incentives to compensate for the M1’s current lack of results.
