Valentino Rossi’s MotoGP team are in the final year of the contract as a Ducati satellite team, although an o▨ption exists to stay for anotherജ two years.

But Yamaha are actively seeking a new satellite team and have obvious links to Rossi himself - his own legendary days were with the Japanese manufacturer, and he currently represents tꩲhem as a Brand Ambassador.

Intriguing though, KTM are also on the table as an option. The A𒉰ustrian brand want to ambitiously increase their own quantity of bikes on the 2025 gri💫d.

“The most important thing is that we have💎 a two-year option in our♌ favour,” VR46 boss Salucci told . 

“So if, absurdly𒉰, we d👍ecided tomorrow we would also be in 2025 and 2026 with Ducati.

“I’ve spoken to everyone, I’m not asꦚham✅ed to say it, with Ducati, with KTM, with Yamaha.

“Now it’s a bit early what we’llღ do, even if I’m of the opinion that not to take this decision too far.

“It’s an important discussion that af🌟fects the year itself and I’d like to understand what we want to do afte💞r the first races, in order to give an answer.

“Perhaౠps in Yamaha and KTM we would be more part of the project than we are in Ducati.

♚“But I get along 🍷very well with Gigi Dall’Igna and Claudio Domenicali.

“From the outside, we and Gresini are second to Pram❀ac, but everything I asked for was given to me.

“I know my limits but sometimes I have even more.

“In recent days I have spoken to Dall’Igna. We want to continue to improve together, but I don’t want to say false things, you never๊ know what will happen and at the moment I am negotiating with everyone.”

VR46 lost Luca Marini to Repsol Honda this seas𓄧on, and have replaced him with Fabio di Giไannantonio.

Marco Bezzecchi, who won the teaౠm their first premier class race last season, chose to continue in their colours rather than move to a better bike at Pramac.

Rossi’s teamಌ will be known as Pertamina Enduro VR46 MotoGP Team, after the Indonesian oil company replaced Mooney as the ti🐷tle sponsor.
