There is reportedly a release clause in ℱGresini’s contract as a Ducati satellite team.

G꧟resini are contracted to Ducati until the end of 2025 but the deal includes a clausꦇe which could be taken advantage of by rival manufacturers if they pay a fee,  report.

Meanwhile, Gresini are trying to convince Ducati to supply them with one factory-spec bike in 2025 which would allow them to convince 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez to stay in the team.

However, that wish is likely doomed to fail.

Pramac and VR46 are in ta🌞lks with Ducati to extend their 🌸stays as satellite teams, which are both due to expire this year.

Pramac have an option in their current deal to automatically re🔥ne♔w and keep their two factory-spec bikes.

If Pramac choose not to renew, the factory bikes would likely go to VR46, not Gresi♎ni.

The revelation of a release clause in Gresini’s contract wꦇith Du🌳cati will be of interest to Yamaha.

The Japanese manufacturer are desperate to add a﷽ satellite team t๊o the grid in 2025.

Their pursuit of VR46 has seemingly failed.

Yamaha are chasing Pramac, too, but cannot compete with the compet꧑itiveness of the bikes that the team currently ride.

Gresini, who run year-old Ducatis, could therefore come under consideration if🌜 Yamaha are willing to pay the fee to activate their release clause.

Yamaha have deep pockets, as evidenced by the new contract making Fabio Quartararo the best-paid rider in MotoGP, but they do not have competitive machinery yet.

Gresini’s 2025 as a Ducati satellite team is contractꦍed, unless another manufacturer comes along to♈ buy them out.

In addition, Gresinꦆi൩ will have a keen eye on the future of their star man Marquez who is only tied to a one-year stay.

Balancing the team’s future, with thꦍeir besꦿt rider’s plans, could become tricky.

The deadline for satellite teams to solve their 2025 futures, in the eℱyes of both Ducati and Yamaha, is expected around the end of May or June.
