Fresh doubt over Pramac future with vital signature missing on Ducati deal
Pramac claimed they would stay, but Ducati say contr♉act is not yet signꦑed

Ducati insist that Pramac have not yet official𒁏ly sig💧ned a contract to stay with them.
Last week at the Italian MotoGP, Pramac’s team manager Gino Borsoi seemingly ended specul🍨ation about their future by reiterating a commitment to Ducati🧸.
“We will continue to have th🅷e official Ducatis next 🧔year,” Borsoi said.
However, Ducati sporting d🐭irector Mauro Grassilli later revealed that Pramac haven’t yet contractually committed.
“We’ve worked ﷽a lot from the beginning of the season to have Pramac for the n𓂃ext two years,” Grassilli said.
“Of course, we are very happy for what Gino said.
“We have n♈ot y𒈔et had the confirmation written. We are looking forward to having it as soon as possible.”
Pramac are🗹 into the final year of their contract as a Ducati satellite team.
They reportedly have a clause inserted which would allow them to remain with the m🅷anufacturer in 2025 and 2026.
Pramac can choose to acꦕtivate this clause until July 31, 2024, it has⛎ been reported.
But they have a tempting offer on the table to join Yamaha, who desperately want to add a satellꩲite structure to their project next year.
Since Grassilli’s words, the♛ 🐽goalposts have shifted significantly for Pramac.
This year they have Jorge Martin, who currently leads the MotoGP champi𝔉onship.
Next year, although they always expected to lose Martin, they realistically might h🐼ave hoped to have welcomed Marc Marquౠez.
Ducati’s initial Plan A was for Martin to be mov𓄧ed to their fact❀ory team, and Marquez would ride a GP25 with Pramac. But Marquez refused, Martin has signed for Aprilia, and Marquez will join the factory Ducati team.
Pramac are now lef🐓t without either of the star riders for 2025.
Although Fermin Aldeguer will arrive into the premier class and could be placed inside the Pramac box, they are facing a reality of a much less competitive rider duo next y꧋ear.
The൩ clock is ticking on Pramac deciding whether to stay at Ducati or go to Yamaha.
