Yamaha were invol🔯ved in the decision-making process over Pramac’s✃ 2025 rider line-up, Max Bartolini said.

Pramac will be🌠come a satellite team for Yamaha ℱfrom next season, leaving their long-standing relationship with Ducati.

The duo to ride🎉 for the new-look Pramac Yamaha team, riding factory material, is widely expected to be Miguel Oliveira and Jack Mille💦r although it remains unconfirmed.

“In general, Yamaha was involved with Pramac in all decisi🌌ons about the r♚iders,” said technical director Bartolini.

“We🌺 made the best decision for the team and for🐠 the company.

“We ha♐ve four experienced riders which will be useful in comparisons with other bikes, and to give comments.

“Also, experienced riders can adjust easily to a bike because they🥂 have ridden other bikes before.”

Notably, Bartolini has worked befꦓorꦜe alongside Miller at Ducati.

Although they have yet to clarify who their riders will be, Bartolini’s admission that they have recruited two ‘experienced’ riders is a clear indication th🎉at Miller and Oliveira wil🐭l arrive.

Pramac Yamaha h🤪ad previously been linked with 👍a host of Moto2 talents.

Development boost for Yamaha

For Bartolini and the factory Yamaha team,⭕ adding two more bikes is a 𓄧huge boost for their development.

“Very important,” he said. “For my past experience, to have many riders is important for a techni🐻cian to get direction and to speed up the development.

“Also, for the rider to get some reference. Using data from other riders💖 is something that makes a rider grow up faster.”

Bartolini said about the progress🦩 of Yamaha this year: “Our gap is qu♓ite big. Around one second.

“It’s something to improve all areas of the bike. We have some weak ar🎃eas. But in general, it’s a long job to improve all areas - aerodynamics, electronics, chassis.

“Until now, we tried to change the way of working🧔.

“We have bright partsꦏ that work. Improvements are always very small.

“When y�🦄�ou gain half-a-tenth you don’t see the difference.

“The biggest🀅 improvement is to settle the structure, the improvement, the way ▨to work.”
