Pramac team boss Gino Borsoi says his squad is brinღging the “best mentality” from Ducati to Yamaha’s MotoGP ﷺproject in 2025.

Between 2004 and the end of 2024, Pramac was a Ducati satellite, winning the riders’ champion🦹ship last year with Jorge Martin.

In 𒉰recent years, Pramac became closely linked with the Bologna factory, fielding two works bikes and providing a pivotal role in development.

While it had an opti🐼on to extend its factory ties with Ducati beyond 2024, it ultimately elected to sign with Yamaha instead after the former made a U-turn on its decision to prom🎀ote Jorge Martin in favour of Marc Marquez to join Francesco Bagnaia in 2025.

Fielding two factory M1s for Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira, Pramac boss Borsoi says Yamaha is “listeni𝔍ng a lot to ཧour vision of racing”.

“Definitely within the Yamaha team and group🍒 there are many Italians, so it is also easier to understand each other,” Borsoi told GPOn💛e.

“Talking and understanding each other was not difficult and they welcomed us very well right away; they opened t🦩heir arms, let’s say we became part of the family in a fairly sim✃ple way without any problem.

“In𒆙 fact, I mus🐼t say they are listening a lot to our vision of racing, even how to work during the weekend.

“For anything we can hel💎p them with we are here ꦿto help.

“We have a mentality that comes from Ducati which is the best right now. But with time I believe that we will sl✱owly be able to bring home the results that Yamaha deserves and bring it back there to the top.”

Coming from back-to-back years fighting for the world title, Borsoi a⛎dmits he is “starting from scratch” with Yamaha in 2025 as the Japanese marque looks to move up the pecking order.

“I come from years whe🌜n I was used to always fighting at the front, even before Pramac,” Borsoi said.

“Maybe I got too used to it, but it also takes learning to start over from scratch, redoing the base and be🦩ing aware of how difficult it is tꦕo even bring back a project like Yamaha.

“It’s part of an experience that then maybe tomorrow will ✨serve me to be even better, so it’s a challenge that accept very gladly also because Yamaha has welcomed us with open arms.

“They have a great desire to get back to where they need to be and they are investing a lot 🧸of money.

“I think this is the first time Yamaha has invested so much money. They’ve taken a lot of technicians, they’re doing a lo෴t of new things.

“So, it’s exciting this project and 🌱then if we succeed it will be something again to say we’ve made history, 𒉰just as we were able to do with Ducati.”
