Yamaha are now being sensationally linked with acquiring the Gresini t🍸eam.

“It is beginning to be taken for granted” in the Jerez paddock at this weekend’s Spanish MotoGP that Yamaha’s search for a n🌺ew satellite tea🐭m will lead them to Gresini, Spanish newspaper report.

It would mean Marc Marquez wou꧑ld search for a new tea♔m and bike in 2025 - he would not follow Gresini to Yamaha.

Yamaha boss Lin Jarvis is quoted by the bombshell new r🍎eport: “From next year there will be two more Yamaha M1s on🎶 the grid, and a satellite team will take care of them.

“I can't reve🌃al the name of the team, but rest assured that the goal of having four Yamaha riders wi🍌ll be achieved.”

The latest twist is re﷽markable because Yamaha have been strongly linked with Ducati’s other two satellite teamꦏs, VR46 and Pramac.

VR46 reportedly rejected Yamaha despite the link of Vale♋ntino Rossi.

But now Gino Borsoi, the Pramac team manager, has “smil🐈ed mischievously” when asked about the link between Yam𒁏aha and Gresini in the Jerez paddock.

Gresini reporജtedly have a release clause in their contract with Ducati which would require a new suitor to buy out.

But Yamaha have proven that they still possess deep pockets after signing Fabio Quartararo to a new deal which makes him t𓆉he highest-paid MotoGP rider, at a time when it seemed likely he would seek a more competitive bike.

The struggling Japanese manufacturer has also been d❀esperate to add a satellite team to its ranks for 2025, so that they can benefit from double the data.

After weeks of assumptions that VR46 or Pramac🍬 might move, it is now unexpectedly Gresini in line.

The knock-on effect would be that Pramac and VR46 would🦩 sign new d𝓡eals to stay at Ducati.

The rider market, par♐ticularly surrounding Marquez, would explode 🌞in a completely new direction.

Marquez has spoken about his de🀅sire for a factory bike in 20𝕴25 and insisted “all doors are open”.

But he 🔯would not go with Gresini to Yamaha, meaning other teams may sense the perfect time to swoop for him.
