Not sure...Rossi (& academy) was always a Yamaha guy and his relation with Ducati, was never that good. I believe that VR 46 needed a good bike to start (we all remember the mess at the beginning) and, for me, Rossi is preparing a move of VR 46 to Yamaha in the future. For the moment, Ducati contract with Marc, only gave them trouble and confusion, do not see any problem of Morbi to stay in Yamaha satellite...

Ideally we'd have Suzuki and Kawasaki come back but that probably won't ever happen. We MIGHT get BMW by 2027 with the new rules but they haven't managed a World Superbike title yet. Though Toprak may well deliver this year which they need since he might be leaving for Honda next year, either in GP or WSBK according to rumors. Or he's angling for a bigger paycheck from BMW with the Honda rumors.

@@brentbartley6838 8 out of 22 isn't half but I get your point. More than half the field (Ducati, KTM, Aprilia) are capable of winning races. Move two to Yamaha and now you have 8 bikes at the back of the grid.

Pramac entered the MotoGP world championship in 2002 racing Honda bikes. In 2005 it moved to race with Ducati by partnering with the D'Antin Racing structure, starting a long trajectory of comings and goings in the championship, until in 2018, with Jack Miller and Danilo Petrucci in its ranks it became the best independent team. So they built up the Ducati with the Lenovo team

So looking forward to the racing this weekend... As for the Yamaha switch... Why not with the new regs coming in next year....💚🇬🇧🌱

If 93 wanted to issue an ultimatum to Ducati, he wouldn't have pussy footed around. My thoughts are that he was never offered Pramac because Yamaha would never have taken him.

As well and $$, I assume Parmac wanted to extend their contact to get current year bikes past the next two years and Ducati wouldn't give them that. Maybe Ducati wants to move VR46 into that role if only for better branding/sales. How many years of free current year fully supported factory bikes would Yamaha need to guarantee to get Pramac to switch?

Yep, need to move away from ducati and get the japanese bikes competitive.

Pramac losing Jorge Martín made the switch to Yamaha a fait accompli. Why pay millions of euros more for a championship caliber bike like Ducati when they don't have a rider that can win a world championship?

Would this mean that VR46 get up to date bikes then?

Marc knew Gresini couldn’t get Factory bikes so could easily say that. Ducati thought they’d put Marquez in Pramac and Martin in the Factory team and they had the best of both worlds. Marquez had his own plan and that wasn’t it He called their bluff and won So Pramac was going to be left with no Marquez and no Martin They’d have Aldeguer and maybe Morbidelli, or a huge financial package from Yamaha Looks like they’ve picked Yamaha Other rumour coming out about this is Prima, Pramac’s main sponsor would only remain if the team ran Ducati’s

As someone said, running a race team is a quick way to turn a large pile of cash into a small one. Hate to say it, but many team owners/investors lose quite a bit of money and sometimes the team has to go with the £$€¥ because of financial reasons. Nobody involved in the sport really does it for financial gain, but there's a point where the team would rather lose less money, so if a factory reaches out to them...

Well it’s not the education necessarily it the strategic thinking. Just consider they made these changes and the racing is worse. Then there goes your fans or you lose your fan base.
