Pramac’s competitiveness caused “cracks” to appear in the relations🎃hip with Ducati, it has been claimed.

The satelಞlite team will switch to Yamaha next season,▨ ending a 20-year association with Ducati.

The a🎶ddition of two more bikes to Yamaha’s structure could aid their development back to MotoGP’s pinnacle, they h﷽ope.

“It’s an investment and, also, an achievement𒀰,” Yamaha🌠 boss Massimo Meregalli said.

“The Pra꧋mac structure is one of the best 🍨in this paddock. With them, we want to build a really strong relationship.

“The target we have to work with them isಞ totally different to the one in previous years with other independent teams.

“Four bikes on the grid is an advantage. Until 🅺now, we build alone.

“We already told them that there is a lot of work 🦂to do! The aim and the spirit is very good.”

TNT Sports’ S❀ylvain Guintoli commented: “Pramac 💃are well regarded by the whole paddock.

“For Ya✨maha it’s a huge win, a great acꩲhievement. They can use the Prama structure to get better.

“You get the feeli♌nཧg that, with Ducati, they hit the end of the road.

“They became t🅺oo competitive. They became a problem.

“Th𒅌ey were a probl🌱em at the end of last year when Jorge Martin fought with Pecco Bagnaia.

“You saw the cracks appear because they were too compet💜itive.

“They reached the end of the road, they did their job. Now they 🌳start a ℱnew challenge with all the experience that they’ve got.”    

He added: “It’s an 💮amicable divorce - but it’s still a divorce.

“There are going to🙈 be some digs. You don’t stop a relationship like this for no reaso🐽n.

“We saw cracks last year when Martin was challenging Bagnaia for the title, and you could sense confl♋ict a♋lready.

“With Marti♓n not able to go up? All of this has been in the balance.

“The Yaཧmaha project is long-term and, financially, it is interesting for Pramac. There is no smoke without fire…”

Pramac missed out on the MotoG꧟P championship at the final round of last season when Martin was denied by Bagnaia.

Martin will leave for Aprilia in 2025 but could take the #1 with him, if he wins t𒁏his season’s championship representi🀅ng Pramac.

But, since their move to Yamaha was con🉐firmed, Pramac have accused Ducati of no longer believing in the development of young riders.

Ducati’s choice to pick Marc Marquez for their 2025 official team has cost them✱ Martinꦺ, Marco Bezzecchi, and Pramac.
