Pramac claimed they would stay, but Ducati say contract is not yet signed
Last week at the Italian MotoGP, Pramac ’s team manager Gino Borsoi seemingly ended speculation about their future by reiterating a commitment to Ducati .However, Ducati sporting director Mauro Grassilli later revealed that Pramac haven’t yet contractually committed.
“We’ve worked a lot from the beginning of the season to have Pramac for the next two years,” Grassilli said.“We have not yet had the confirmation written. We are looking forward to having it as soon as possible.”They reportedly have a clause inserted which would allow them to remain with the manufacturer in 2025 and 2026.But they have a tempting offer on the table to join Yamaha, who desperately want to add a satellite structure to their project next year.
Next year, although they always expected to lose Martin, they realistically might have hoped to have welcomed Marc Marquez. Ducati’s initial Plan A was for Martin to be moved to their factory team, and Marquez would ride a GP25 with Pramac. But Marquez refused, Martin has signed for Aprilia, and Marquez will join the factory Ducati team.Although Fermin Aldeguer will arrive into the premier class and could be placed inside the Pramac box, they are facing a reality of a much less competitive rider duo next year.
