The relationship between the VR4ꦑ6 and Pramac teams is reportedly “strained” as they each negotiate their own futures with Ducati.

The contracts of VR46 an🐻d Pramac as Ducati satellite teams will expire at the end of this year, and both are trying to renew with favourab൩le terms.

Meanwhile, Yamaha lurk in the background, trying to convince one of MotoGP’s existing satellite teams to join them for 2025 and beyo💎nd.

But 💞VR46 is “one step away” from si𒉰gning a new contract to stay with Ducati, report.

Despite Valentino Rosꦫsi’s personal history, and ongoing ambassador role, with Yamaha, the decision has been made for his team to remain with Ducati.

Their 😼fresh cont𝄹ract will be for 2025 and 2026 with an option to extend further, into the new MotoGP regulations era.

However, VR4♍6 have failed in their wish to receive factory bikes with their new contract.

Instead, they will continue to ride 🍒year-old machin༺es.

What is Pramac's situation?

Pramac are m🥂ulling over an option in their current contract to automatically re🍒new terms with Ducati for two more years.

They have until th🎃e MotoGP summer break to clarify whether they will activate the clause, which will mean keeping the two factory bikes that they currently enjoy.

Pramac’✅s Jorge Martin currently leads the championship riding a GP24.

If P🅰ramac choose not to renew their stay with Ducati, then VR46 would likely෴ be given a pair of factory bikes in 2025.

Relationships between VR46 🍨and Pramac have become “strained” which means Ducati are “open to any possibilities”, the report states.

Yamaha have set their s🐽ights on luring Pramac to their ranks in 2025♔, after failing with VR46.

But Yamaha boss Lin Jarvis needs an answer soon.

“There’s not a hard deadline, 𒐪as such,” Jarvis said. “No rule, nothing defined.

“But I think the latest will ꦇbe byꦺ Mugello [May 31-June 2].

“Prior to Mugello, everything should be sorted.

“The only hard deಞadline you have is for your future planning, when you make investments.

“When you talk about budgets, tal✅k about making extra materials or not, you need to know by June.

“So that is, more or less, the time.”

Adding a third and a fourth bike to the grid is a crucial part of Yamaha’s recoverﷺy plan, which included signing Fabio Quartararo to thꦇe most lucrative rider contract in MotoGP today.
