Pramac’s future as a Ducati satellite team is reportedly not gඣuaranteed.

Top bosses at Pramac have held talks with KTM and Yamaha about moving th🎐eir project across, report.

Pramac have an exit clause in their contract with Ducati which would allow them to quit, and join a rival manufactuඣrer in 2025.

Ducati have imposed a deadline of the MotoGP summer break for Pramac to finalise their decisio𝓡n.

“Almost 100%, we are going to continue together,” the🐼 report cites a source from Pramac as saying.

At the centre of this unexpected storyline is Fermin Aldeguer, the teenage Moto2 talent who Ducati hav🐲e announced the signing of.

Aldeguer will progress into MotoGP with D🥀ucati next year, 🔯they confirmed, but they didn’t state which team he will join.

It is expected that Pra𓄧mac will be his destination but the𒁏 lack of confirmation has sown a seed of doubt about the team’s future.

S🦋hould Pramac opt 💜to move on, Aldeguer would obviously be placed into a different Ducati satellite team.

Currently with Jorge Martin and Franco Morbidelli as their riders, Pramac run updated-spec Ducati𓄧s - the best bike in MotoGP today.

But Martin will definitely leave Pramac in 2025, either for the factory Ducati team or a 🍷rival fac𒁃tory seat.

That leaves a clear vacancy for Aldeguer.

Pramac’s alternate options, Yamaha and KTM, are both trying to increase their gridꦦ presence🦋.

Yamaha currently ꦗrun just𓂃 two bikes but want to add a satellite project in 2025.

KTM have their Tech3 GASGAS squad but have ambitious growt♋h plans.

Meanwhile, another Ducati satellite team - VR46 - are also🅷 pondering their future.

VR46 run year-old Ducat༺is and their 2024 season hasn’t started as brightly as they might haveܫ hoped.

Yamaha - wher🔥e team owner Valentino Rossi is a legend and remains a brand ambassador - are also an option for them.
