Ducati insist they want to keep theꦕir three satellite teams despite Yamaha’s interest.

Yamaha’s desp�✨�eration to add to their two bikes on the 2025 MotoGP grid has seen them strongly linked with Ducati’s Pramac, VR46 and Gresini projects.

Ducati insist the saga must be resolved bಌy August.

Ducati sporting director Mauro Grassilli told : “The goal I was give♏n is to keep the current status until 2026 and that is the main o𓆏ption.

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

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

“From a technical point of view it’s very difficult and every company has limitat🍸ions, so someone can start looking around for closer treatment to the official♈ one.

“I am very confident and very positive to keep this situation until the end of 2026 and a structure li🧸ke now.

“So with Pramac as a factory supported team with two factory bikes and VR46 and Gr🌌esini as satellite teams.

“Fermin Aldeguer, as per contract, will go to the factory suppor♏ted team♛, which right now is Pramac.”

Pramac and VR46 are both out of contract this year so are ꩲnegotiating new deals with Ducati.

VR46 reportedly re🐠jected Yamaha’s ad🥂vances weeks ago.

Yamaha were🌸 tipped to be in serious talks with Pramac.

Pramac have an option to automatically extend their Ducati deal by two yᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚears, and to keep their factory-spec bikes,🍷 although it hasn’t been activated yet.

Yamaha have most recently𝓰 been linked with acquiring Gresini which would be a m༒ajor shift.

Gresini are contracted to Ducati for 2025 but are suspected to have a reꦿlease clause which another manufacturer could buy out.

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