Ducati insist they want to keep their three satellite teams despite Yamaha’s interes♕t💎.

Yamaha’s desperation to add to their two bikes on the 2025 MotoGP grid has seen them sꦿtrongly linked with Ducati’s Pramac, VR46 and Gresini projects.

Ducati insist the saga must be res꧅olved by August.

Ducati sporting director Mauro Grassil꧅li told : “The goal I was given is to keep the current status until 2026 and that is the main op𒆙tion.

“Yamaha is doing a great job in looking for a satellite team trying to take one of the two away from us,𓆏 while I want to keep them all.

“I also know that it is not easy to manage two satelli⭕te teams plus one fac𒅌tory supported team. I don’t think it will have a long-term future.

“From a technical point of view it’s ve🌱ry difficult and every company has limitations, so someone can start looking around for closer treatm🍎ent to the official one.

“I am very confident and very positive to keep this situation until the end of 2026 and a structuಌre like now.

“So with Pramac as a factory supported team with two factory bikes and VR46 and Gresini as sat𓂃ellite teams.

“Fermin 𝓡Aldeguer, as per contract, will go to the factory supported team, which right now is Pramac.”

Pramac and VR46 are both out of contract thiᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚs year so are negotiating new deals with Ducati.

VR46 reportedly rejected Yamaha’s advance𒁃s weeks ago.

Yamaha weღre tippe🅠d to be in serious talks with Pramac.

Pramac have an option to automatically extend their Ducati deal by two years, and to keep their factory-spec bikes, although it hasn’t been activate🥃d yet.

Yamaha have most recently been linked with acquiring 🐼Gresini which would be a major shift.

Gresini are contr🐷acted to Ducat🌼i for 2025 but are suspected to have a release clause which another manufacturer could buy out.

A report from in the paddo♛ck at the Spanish MotoGP this week suggests that Gresini will become a Yamaha team in 2025.
