A remarkable and unexpected silly season rumour involving 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia has been shared in Italy.

The MotoGP season is into its annual rider market phase where teams a꧙nd riders are considering what to do, 🔯and where to go, in 2026.

Unlike some, Bagnaia’s future is rock solid with a factory Ducati contract which lasts until the end of next year.

However, that hasn’t stopped a rival manufacturer admiring Bagnaia and imagining hi🥂m riding their bike.

Pecco Bagnaia is Yamaha’s ‘forbidden dream’

Yamaha are the ꦬmanufacturer wishing they could lure Bagnaia, report.

Remarkably they are hoping to tempt h♐im “maybe as early as 2026”, according to Sky Italia.

Bagnaia has been descrꦺibed as a “forbidden⭕ dream” for Yamaha by the surprising report from his home country.

That is because Yamaha know that Bagnaia’s relationship with Ducati “remains exce𓃲llent” despite the difficult season he is enduring.

But Paolo Pavesio wants to make a huge first move as the top boss at Yamaha since replacin💟g Lin Jarvis.

The manufacturer wants two elite riders on their fact🐭ory bike - Fabio Quartararo “is♈ not enough”, the report claims.

Yamaha see a second top rider as essential to reclaiming their old stat𒆙us 🌠as MotoGP’s top brand.

Bagnaia is the rider “for w꧑hom Yamaha would make 🐈any effort, economic and technical”, Sky Italia report.

Yamaha is also, of course, where Bagnaia's mentor Valentino Rossi enjoyed his heyday🌸.

Yamaha eye-catching but Pecco Bagnaia’s status on contracts is clear

Yamaha have been progressi🧸ng as 🎀an impressive rate in 2025.

This year, they have added Pramac as a satellite team to double their quantity of riders and data. In the background they are w🌼orking on a V4 engine but continue to improve the currentဣ package.

Quarta🍸raro has claimed three MotoGP pole positions consecutively. His lap record at Silverstone was proof of what his Yamaha can do under certain conditions.

Quartararo looked set t𒅌o win the British MotoGP - which would have been a major mome🌳nt in Yamaha’s revival - until a ride height device problem halted him, and reduced him to tears.

Meanwhile,🗹 Bagnaia is struggling to tame his Ducati GP25. Even Marc Marquez found issues with it at Silverstone.

Bagnaia is third in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP standings, 72 points off leader Marc Marquez.

But his words about Jorge Martin’s supposed🐼 exit from♛ Aprilia make it clear that he won’t be leaving Ducati before his own deal ex𝔍pires at the end of 2026.

“When you have a contract you need to follow it, you canﷺnot cancel it,” Bagnaia said.

“In my opinion, if you 🧸take the words about something and if you sig♔n something, you must respect it.”

Not what Yamaha want to hear.

He might be a dream sign🧸ing for them. But surely a rumour which will r🍨emain a dream only.
