The 2025 MotoGP season might not be going to plan for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini, but he is attracting 🤪admiring glances from a rival team.

Bastianini lost his꧒ factory D⛦ucati seat last year to Marc Marquez, forced to swiftly find a new home at a new manufacturer.

He signed up to a new-look 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Tech3 KTM project but has been outshone by tea🦂mmate Maveric💛k Vinales.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pramac Yamaha are looking at Bastianini and considerꦉing him, according to Sky Italia.

Yamaha dream of fielding a reference rider and a rookie, in both their factory🌟 and satellite tea♍ms, the report states.

Bastianini is “considered the ideal choice” by Pram꧒ac Yamaha in the role of reference🉐 rider.

They also like KTM’s Pedro Acosta, much🔴 like every other manufacturer in the paddock.

But Basti🉐anini, whose best result was P7 in Texas, is contracted in 2026 by KTM. However, he has yet to discover his g📖rand prix-winning form from his Ducati days on a KTM.

"Cautious" Pramac allow more time

However, Pramac Yamaha are "c🍌autious" in the rider market, and are in no rush to🍰 ditch their existing riders, the report states.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Miguel Oliveira signed up this year to the brand-new team, who had moved from the Duca🅠ti garage to Ya⛦maha’s.

Together they bring experience from riding the Honda, the Ducati, the KTM and the Aprilไia.

Their ro𝓀le in developing Yamaha’s wider MotoGP project cannot be understated, either.

On the track, Miller’s P5 at the Americas Moto♎GP was a welcome reminder of his ability. Oliveira has been interrupted 𝓰by injury.

Pramac Yamaha intend to let Miller and Oliveira state their case for a 2026 stay in the next few races, and could even opt to retain both, and ignore Bastianini, Sky Italia ꦏreport.

Toprak Razgatlioglu interest for Pramac Yamaha

Toprak Razgatlioglu is also reportedly of interest to Pramac Yamaha, Sky Italia repꦏort.

He 🐭would fulfil the role o🔯f a rookie, alongside a more experienced rider.

Razgatlioglu has been teasing a switch from the World Superb💖ike Championship to MotoGP in 2026.

Hondaꦺ have also been strongly linked with swooping for his signatꦉure.

Yamaha’s Paolo Pavesio made it clear they would not adhere to an🌠ওy deadlines set by Razgatlioglu.

Pavesio also explained when Yamaha intend to nail down their▨ 2026 rider line-up.

Other rookies𒈔 being admired by Pramac Yamaha include Moto2 riders Ivan Guevara and Tony Ar✅bolino.
