Pramac are in no rush to clarify their MotoGP future.

Paolo Campinoti inte🥂nds to “wait until the last second✅ of the last day of July” before confirming whether his team will stay with Ducati or quit,  report.

Pramac have been in “intense negotiations” wi♏th Yamaha over the past few days.

Yamaha have “put an offer on the table” to make Pramac their sa𝓡tellite team in 2025 and beyond, the report states.

There are reportedly big financial benefits to Pramac swapping Ducati🍨 for Yamaha.

But, Pramac will not rush their decision. Contractuallyཧ, they have until the end o𒊎f July to decide.

That’s because their current contract as a Ducati satellite team, which expires at the end of this year, includes a c🦂lause which allows them to automatically ღextend the deal for two more seasons.

Extending it would enab💜le Pramac to keep their factory-sp🐎ec bikes for 2025 and 2026.

But, the money 🐷on the table to assist with Yamaha’s rebuild represents an intriguing option.

The knock-on effect of Pramac’s big decision is with the other two Ducati satellite teams, and the rꦆider marღket.

VR46 𓃲are also in the process of renegotiating their status as a Ducati satellite team be𝓡cause their contract also expires this year.

Gresini are tied to Ducati for 2025 already.

Yamaha had reportedly been in touch🙈 with both VR46 and Gresini but now appear focused on luring Pra꧅mac into their ranks.

Not knowing which bikes Pramac will rid🍷e in 2025 means that riders deciding theiﷺr next move are unclear.

Jorge Martin and Franco Mor🌺bidelli are Pramac’s curr🏅ent rider duo. Martin is expected to leave for a factory ride, at Ducati or elsewhere.

Fermin Aldeguer is primed to arrive at Pramac next year but only i😼f they stay with Ducati. Otherwise he 🐠will end up at VR46.

Marc Marquez is also implicated. He wants a fac𒐪tory bike in 2025 which he could find next to Francesco Ba💛gnaia, or with Pramac.

But if Pramac leav💧e, then Marquez’s options get considerably slimmer𝓀.

Pramac moving to Yamaha would mean that M♕arquez, Martin and Enea Bastianini are squabbling over one factory bike in 2025 - with no Plan B within the Ducati ranks.
