Ducati and V𒀰R46 haven’t yet found common ground on a new contract due to financial reasons.

VR46’s current contract as a Ducati satellite team runs until the end of this year, but they have a clause which enables them to extend it for anoꩵther two years.

The wishful deadline set by Uccio Salucci, the VR46 team boss, for before the Qatar MotoGP has already expired.

Mauro Grassilli, who replaced Paolo Ciabatti as 🍸Ducati sporting director this year, was asked♋ if VR46 (who ride year-old bikes) are seeking an improved status.

“Pramac has exclusivit൲y as a satellite structure that receives factory support,” Grassilli told .

“We areᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ talking to VR46 to expꦜand our relationship.

“But it is not easy either because this agreement also h﷽as to fit into this new economic framework.

“We 🌼meet wi🍸th them every week, but we have not yet found a solution.

“We🐈 know that they are talking to other manufacturers, as is normal, but we are🐻 in less of a hurry.”

Yamaha - who VR46 owner 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valentino Rossi has a glorious personal history with, and is curren𒊎tly a brand ambassador for - are at the front of queue.

Ducati want to reduce their expenditure, including on rider salaries, in 2025 a꧒nd bey♛ond.

They have pinned doꦯwn star rider Fꦆrancesco Bagnaia on a long-term well-paid contract but might have to let other assets leave, as  a result.

Jorge Martin,💞 the Pramac rider who has twice missed out on a promotion to the factory Ducati team, plans to quit the brand un🧸less he wears red next year.

The decision 🙈over Martin’s future will be economical, as well as sp❀orting.

“The management of Pramac, which is our first satellite team, and also that of the 𒐪other independent teams, will change a little,” Grassilli said.

“The global economic situation for๊ces us to be very careful in the amounts we allocate, both to the official team and to Pramac, which is the one that receives the greatest support from the factory.

“Now we are t🧔rying to get🅘 back to more sustainable figures.”

Where else could Martin go if he leaves Ducati?

“Jorge has monstrous potential and currently has a contract with Ducati [for 2025],” Grassill🍸i said.

“At the end of the year m൩ost of the agreements expire, but given his talent it is obvious that he has many alternatives.

“He can go wherever he wants, but he has always said tha🍷t his goal is the officiaဣl team.”
