Pramac are in no rush to clarify their MotoGP future.

Paolo Campinoti intends to “wait u🐭ntil the last second of the last day of July” before confirming whether his team will stay with Ducati or quit,  report.

Pramac have been in “intense༺ negotiations” with Yamaha o🧔ver the past few days.

Yamaha have “put an offer on the🍒 table” to make Pr🐲amac their satellite team in 2025 and beyond, the report states.

There areꦛ reportedly big financial benefits to Pramac swapping Ducati for Yamaha.

But, Pramac will not rush their decis𒁏ion. Contractually, they have until the end of July ⛦to decide.

That’s because their current contract as a Ducati satellite team, which expires at the end of this year, includes a clause which allows them to automatically ex𒐪tend the de♐al for two more seasons.

Extending it would enable Pramac to keep their factory-speꦍc bikes for 2025 and 2026.

But, the money on the table to assist with Yam💙aha’s rebuild represents an intriguing optio🌊n.

The knock-on effect of Pram🧸ac’s big decision is with the other two Ducati satellite teams, and the rider market.

VR46 are also in the process of renegot🅷iating thei✃r status as a Ducati satellite team because their contract also expires this year.

Gresini are tied to Ducati for 2025 already.

Yamahღa had reportedly been in touch with both VR46 and Gresini but now appear focused on luring Pramac into꧙ their ranks.

Not knowing which bikes Pramac will෴ ride in 2025 means that riders deciding their next move are unclear.

Jorge Martin and Franco Morbidelli are Pramac’s current rider duo. Martin is e𒅌xpec🍸ted to leave for a factory ride, at Ducati or elsewhere.

Fermin Alde𝄹guerౠ is primed to arrive at Pramac next year but only if they stay with Ducati. Otherwise he will end up at VR46.

Marc M൩arquez is also implicated. He wants a factory bike in 2025 which he could find next to ღFrancesco Bagnaia, or with Pramac.

But if Pramac leave, then Marquez’s option🔜s get co🦂nsiderably slimmer.

Pramac mov🤡ing to Yamaha would mean that Marquez, Martin and Enea Bastianini are squabbling over one factory bike in🎀 2025 - with no Plan B within the Ducati ranks.
