Yamaha have the names of two elite riders and two satellite teams who they regard as t⛎argets for 2025.

The struggling Japanese manufactur🏅er have just two bikes (belonging to Fabio Quartararo and Alex Rins) on the MotoGP grid but 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 Yamaha over their future plans, the report cla🎶ims.

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

Bu♉t, despite having access to the best bike in the sport, a deal remain⛎s unsigned.

However, the finances on offer to join Yamaha might be tempting f✅or Pramac, even 🌌if it means a step down in terms of competitiveness.

VR46 r🥀emai🅘n the other team in talks to become a Yamaha satellite team.

Currently with Ducati on year-old machinery, VR46 are also deciding whether to extend their sta🔜y or seek pastures𝓡 new.

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

Team oꦬwn♒er Valentino Rossi enjoyed his glory days with Yamaha, and is still a brand ambassador for the Japanese manufacturer.

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 rider market.

Jorge Martin appears on their list.

The current MotoGP championship♍ leader is into his fin🔯al year with Pramac.

He has demanded a promotion to the factory Ducati team and ha🔯s t💖hreatened to quit the manufacturer if it is not delivered.

Yamaha are therefore lurking with intent, eager to hear 𝓰whꦫat 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.

Shou𝓰ld Martin receive the bump up to the factory Ducati team aܫs he wishes, that will leave Bastianini out of a gig.

Early meetings reportedly took place between 💛Ducati⛦ and Yamaha in Portimao.

But Ducati know that they currently ho𓄧ld the cards to the rideꦚr market.

But Yamaha are waiting in the wings to pounce.
