The four♛-year Fiat-Yamaha MotoGP partnership has come to an end.

A message on the team's official Twitter page @fiatyamahateam states that it won't be updated and confir🙈ms "The team will change title sponsor and therefore it won't be "Fiat Yamaha Team" anymore."

The team's offici♍al website also confirms the agreement is 🤡over.

Despite wꦫinning all three MotoGP titles in 2010, and retaining new world champion Jorge Lorenzo for next season, Fiat's departure had been expected due to Italian superstar Valentino Rossi's 🌟switch from Yamaha to Ducati.

Fiat was Yamaha's first non-tobacco title sponsor of the four-stroke MotoGP era and, while its debut 2007 season brought little success, Fiat-liveried YZR-M1s have won the Riders' and Teams' World Championship eve🍒ry year since 2008.

Alth▨ough an Italian car manufacturer sponsoring a Japanese motorcycle team seemed a strange mix, Fiat explained MotoGP allowed it to access a younger car-buying audience than F1.

Brands such as Air Asia and Telefonica have been linked to the sponsorship position vacated by Fiat, but it seems🌄 no deal has been concluded and it remains possible that a corporate Yamaha livery could be used by Lore✱nzo and new team-mate Ben Spies in 2011.

Should the most successful manufacturer of recent seasons - Yamaha has won the triple crown 𝄹of Riders', Teams' and Manufacturers' titles for the past three years running - be unable to secure a title sponsor of value, it will be a further worrying sign for MotoGP ec🌠onomics.
