Yamaha h🌳ave the names of two elite riders and two satellite teams who they regard 𓆉as targets for 2025.

The struggling Japanese manufacturer have just two bikes (belonging to Fabio Quartararo and Alex Rins) on the M🧸otoGP 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, re♉port.

Which satellite teams do Yamaha want?

Pramac “did not💖 refuse a chat” with Yamaha over their future plans, the report claims.

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

But, despite h🅺aving access to the best bike 🍰in the sport, a deal remains unsigned.

However, the finances on offer to join Yamaha might be tempting for Pramac, even if it means a step down in terms of competitivene💫ss.

VR46 remain the other team in talks to become a Yamaha s🌺atellite team.

Currently with 𒈔Ducati on year-old machinery, VR46 are also deciding whetheꦯr to extend their stay or seek pastures new.

VR46’s Uccio Salucci p♏ublicly wished to re-sign with Ducati before the season-opener in Qatar - but it didn’t happen.

Team owner Valentino Rossi enjoyed his glory days with Yamaha, and is still a brand ambassador for the Japa🔯nese manufacturer.

Which riders do Yamaha want?

Quartararo will now definitely take up one of their bikes next year, but Yamaha areಌ keeping an eye on the rider market.

Jorge Martin appears on their list.

The current MotoGജP championship leader is into his final year with Pramac.

He has demanded a promotion to the factory Ducati team and𓆏 has threatened to quit the manufactureܫr if it is not delivered.

Yamaha are therefore lurking wiꩵth intent, eager to hear what Martin might 🔯do.

But any swoops might now be fina💟nces-depending after the huge outlay to tie down Quartararo.

Enea Bastianini is also of interest to Yamaha.

Should Martin receive the bump up to the factory Ducati team as he wishes, tha꧟t will leave Bastianini out of a gig.

Early meetings reportedly took p𝕴lace🎉 between Ducati and Yamaha in Portimao.

But Ducati kn꧅ow that they currently 𓃲hold the cards to the rider market.

But Yamaha are waiting in the wings to pounce.
