Ya🔯maha have the names of two elite riders and two satellite teams who they regard as targets for 2025.

The st𒈔ruggling Japanese manufacturer have just two bikes (belonging to Fabio Quartararo and Alex Rins) on the MotoGP grid but൩ have intention to expand their presence.

They have achieved their priority of retaining star man Quartararo, and have a “notebook” of other targets for next year, report💎.

Which satellite teams do Yamaha want?

Pramac “did not refuse a chat” with Yamꦆaha over their future plans, the report claims.

Pramac are into the final year of💦 their contract with Ducati but team manager Gino Borsoi insists that they have an option to automatically extend the partnership by two years.

But, despite having access to the best bike 🔯in the sport, a deal remains unsigned.

However, the finances on offer to join Yamaha might be tempting for Pramac, even if it means a step down inཧ terms of competitiveness.

VR46 remain the other team in talks to becom♔e a Yamaha satellite team🃏.

Currently with Ducati on year-old machinery, VR☂46 are also♊ deciding whether to extend their stay or seek pastures new.

VR46’s Uccio Salucci publicly wished to re-sign ꧃with Ducati before the season-opener in Qatar - but it didn’t happen.

Team owner Valentino Rossi enjoyed his glory days with Yamaha, and is still a brand ambassador for the Japanese manufa𓆏🌃cturer.

Which riders do Yamaha want?

Quartararo will now definitely take up one of their bikes next year, but Yamaha are keeping an eye on the ride𓆏r market.

Jorge Martin appears on their list.

The current MotoGP championship leader is into his fina൲l year with Pramac.

He has demanded a promotion to the factory Ducati team a🎃nd has threatened to quit the manufacturer if it 🌄is not delivered.

Yamaha are therefore lurking 🏅with intent, eager🎀 to hear what Martin might do.

But any swoops might now be finances-depending after the huge outlay to tie🅺 down Quartararo.

Enea Bastianini is also of interest to Yamaha.

Should 🥃Martin receive the bump up to the factory Ducati team as he wishes, that will leave Bastia𒀰nini out of a gig.

Early meetings reportedly took place bet🌞ween Ducati and Yamaha in Portimao.

But Ducati know that they currently h🀅old the card🐈s to the rider market.

But Yamaha are waiting in the wings to pounce.
