The relati🐈onship between the VR46 and Pramac teams is reportedly “strained” as they each negotiate their own futures with Ducati.

The contracts of VR46 and Pramac as Ducati satellite teams will expire at the end of this year, and both are trying to re♉new with favourable terms.

Meanwhile, Yamaha lurk in the background, trying to convince one of MotoGP’s existingꩵ satellite teams to join them for 2025 🧔and beyond.

But VR46 is “one step away” fro🤡m signing a new contract to stay with Ducati, report.

Despite Valentino Rossi’s personal histor൩y, and ongoing ambassador role, with Yamaha, the decisio𒁃n has been made for his team to remain with Ducati.

Their fresh contract will🀅 be for 2025 and 2026 with an optioꩲn to extend further, into the new MotoGP regulations era.

However, VR46💖 have failed in their wish to receiv🦹e factory bikes with their new contract.

Instead, they will continue 🙈ꦓto ride year-old machines.

What is Pramac's situation?

Pramac are mulling over an option in their current ♚contract to automatically renew terms with Ducati for two more yeဣars.

They h🎃ave until the MotoGP summer break to clar🅘ify whether they will activate the clause, which will mean keeping the two factory bikes that they currently enjoy.

Pramac’s Jorge Martin currently leads the championship ridi🦋ng a GP24.

If Pramac choose not to renew their stay with Ducati, then VR46 would likely🌠 be given a pair of factory bikes in 2025.

Relationships between VR46 and Pramac have become “strained” which means Ducati are “open to any possibilities”, the ✃report states.

Yamaha have set the⛎ir sights on luring Pramac to their ranks in 2025, after failing withℱ VR46.

But Yamaha boss Lin Jarvis needs an answer soon.

“T🦩here’s not a hard deadline,🌳 as such,” Jarvis said. “No rule, nothing defined.

“But I think the latest will💯 ൩be by Mugello [May 31-June 2].

“Prior to Mugello, everything should be sorted.

“The only hard deadline yo﷽u have is for your future planning, when you make ܫinvestments.

“When you talk about budgets, talk about making extra materials 🌟or not, you need to know by June.

“So that is, more or less, the time.”

Add𒁃ing a third and a fourth bike to the grid is a crucial part of Yamaha’s recovery plan, which included signing Fabio Quartararo to the most lucrative riderꦫ contract in MotoGP today.
