Are the fates of Marc Marquez and Yamaha strangely intertwined?
The common denominator is Pramac Ducati

The futures of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez and Yamaha could be oddly linked.
The common denominator is Pramac Ducati.
This weekend’s Catalunya 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:MotoGP comes amid the backdrop of t🍷wo massive nego☂tiations happening behind-the-scenes.
The first is Ducati’s decision over their 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2025 MotoGP rider line-up, and who to give the official bike to.
The second is Pramac’s decision of whether to stick with Ducati oꦅr become a Yamaha satellite team next year.
A🐓nd those two big decisions both have Mar♊quez included in the mix.
Marquez wantꦇs a 2025-spec Ducati next year, he has🦩 made it clear.
Ducati are deciding whether current incumbent Enea Bastianini will be replaced by Gresini’s Marquez or Pramac’s Jorg🤡e Martin.
But Marquez has seemingly softened his sta✨nce about demanding a promotion into the factory team, as long as he rec♕eives a factory-spec bike.
“Regardless of the colour or brand”, Marquez said, hinting he is not only look💟ing for the red Ducati.
That brings Pramac into the equation.
Pramac know they will lose Martin next year - he has vowed to either finally g𓆉o to the factory Ducati team, or quit the manufacturer altoget🐷her.
💃Pramac could offer Marquez a latest-spec bike♔, just as they do now with Martin.
Martin is topping the MotoGP standings after five rounds, proving he does not require extra f﷽actory support to contend for the title. Marquez will have surely noted this.
For Pramac, 🦩the allure of welcoming the esteemed Marquez into their garage is obviou🍨s.
And it wo🏅uld surely keep them in the fight for the championship in 2025, whereas a duo of Franco Morbidelli 🅷and (likely) Fermin Aldeguer would be unlikely to guarantee that.
But Pramac can only offer a ‘25-spec Desmosedici to Marquez if they commit to Ducati for the next෴ two years.
If they do, 🤡the Ducati bosses might see Pramac as the ideal landing spot for Marquezﷺ.
Ducati could ar🍸guably promote Martin to the factory team, and hand Marquez over to Pramac, giving him the factory-spec bike he wants, if💧 they can make the finances work.
Pramac are ꦕpondering whether to ac♏tivate a contractual clause in their current deal which would tie them to Ducati for 2025 and 2026, with factory machinery.
But they also have an offer to join Yamaha next season, which would reportedly be financially attractive for Paolo Camp🥃inoti’s team.
Yamaha are desperate to add a satellite team, to double their presence o🦋n the 2025 grid.
Lin Jarvis said r🎐ecently that the J🌜apanese manufacturer is confident of attracting one of the existing teams.
But VR46 reportedly turned Yamaha down, despite the mutual link of Valentino Rossi, and Gresi🅠ni have confirmed that their status as a Ducati team will not change next year.
That leaves Pramac as their last hope to achieve their master🌠plan.
Pramac are stuck in the middle - do they stick with Ducati and bring Marquez in? Or do 🏅they flee to Yamaha?
And if they go to Yamaha, but Duca✤ti wan🦄t Martin in their factory team, then what will Marquez do in 2025?
It is viable that Pramac choose to go to Yamaha, Ducati pick Martin as their factory rider, and Marquez and Bastianini are both left searching the garages of rival brands for the best bike available. Tꦦhat brings KTM and Aprilia into play.
D♐ucati have promised to make their rider decision by Mugello at the🅰 end of May.
Pram🃏ac reportedly have until the end of Juꦡly to decide between staying or going to Yamaha.
This weekend’s round in Barcelona ꧒will add a further layer of detail to a very c✨omplex situation…
