Ducati offer latest lowdown on negotiations to keep Pramac and VR46
Will VR46 and Pramac stay with Ducati or quit?

Ducati are still hoping to convince both Pra🍎ma▨c and VR46 to stay with them.
Gresini’s 2025 future as a Ducati satellite team is assured, but the fate of Pramac an🉐d VR46 is up for grabs.
“We have some [talk💜s] open,” Ducati sporting director Mauro Grassillꦐi said.
“We are talking with VR46. We are talking with Pram🍸ac.
“Our goal is to have the same si𓄧tuation for the future.
“My target is to be with Pramac ༒and VR46 next year,🍷 and for the future.”
The contracts of both Pramac and VR46 as Ducati satellit🌸e teams are expiring at the end of🐎 this year.
Both have been linked with a switch to Yamaha who re⛄main “optimistic” that they can add a satellite project to thei൲r ranks for 2025.
VR46 have rejected Yamaha which surprised and disappointed the Japanese manufacturer💖, Sky Italia reported last week.
The understanding surrounding VR4𓆉6 is that they are hoping to convince Ducati to❀ give them a factory bike if they stay in 2025. Currently, they run two GP23 machines.
Uccio Salucci, the team boss𓂃, made clear his desire to re-sign with Ducati before the 2024 season started but, ꧙several weeks on, there is still no signature.
Pramac have an option in their current contract to automatically rene𝄹w with Ducati for two more years.
That clause would allow Pramac to keep🅰 their t𝔍wo factory-spec bikes for 2025 and 2026.
Gino Borsoi, the team boss, insists they will sign up - y𝔉et it hasn’t been confirmed ye🌳t.
Pramac would be free to leave if they receive a better offer, which is w꧅here Yamaha’s willingness to make a lucrative deal could be tested.
