Ducati insist they want to k꧒eep their three satellite teams despite Yamaha’s 🀅interest.

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

Ducati insi꧋st the saga must be resolved by August.

Ducati sporting director Mauro Grassilli told : “The goal I was given is to keep the current status until 2026 and ꩲthat is the main option.

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

“I also know that it is not easy to manage two satellite teams plus one factory supported 𒁃team. I don’t thin💎k it will have a long-term future.

“From a technical point of view it’s very difficult and every company has limitations, 🐷so someone can start looking around for closer treatment to the of𒊎ficial one.

“I am very confid𝐆ent and very positive to keep this situation until the en﷽d of 2026 and a structure like now.

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

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

Pramac and VR46 are both out of contract this year so𝓰 are negotiating 🃏new deals with Ducati.

VR46 reportedly rejected Yamaha’s advanceౠs weeks ago.

Yama▨ha were tipped to be in ওserious talks with Pramac.

Pramac have an optio⭕n to automatically extend their Ducati deal by two years, and to keep their factory-spec bikes, although it hasn’t been activated yet.

Yamaha have most rec🎃eꦕntly been linked with acquiring Gresini which would be a major shift.

Gresini are contracted to Ducati for 2025 but are suspected to have a release clause which another manufacture꧅r could buy out.

A repo𓆏rt from in the paddock at the Spanish MotoGP this week suggests that Gresini will become a Yamaha team in 2025.
