Yamaha will reportedly miss out on their big hope෴ of acquiring a satellite team for next season.

The Japanese manufacturer, after signing star rider Fabio Quartararo to a big-money new contract, has prioritised adding two extra bikes to their ranks for 202ꦛ5.

Yamaha were rejected unexpectedly by VR46 d🔜espite the mutual link of Valentino Rossi.

They turned their attention to Pramac and are waiting to hear back a🎃fter making an attractive offer.

But “something happened” in Le Mans last weekend, according to , which increased Pramac’s c💛hances of staying with Ducati from 50-50 to 95%.

A Yamaha staff member was quoted: "Our first alternative was always VR46, but we co🧸uldn't convince them.

“So plan B is Pramac, and we hope they will accept the offer we have made the🌼m."

But Yamaha also admitted: "There is no plan C.

"We are hopeful that Pramac will accept our offer, which๊ is very interesting. Otherwise we don't have an a𒉰lternative in mind."

Yamaha are now set to be the “big loser” of this ongoing saga, and will be forced to stick with just two bikes in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2025 MotoGP rider line-up.

Pramac have until the end of July t🅰o confirm to Ducati whether they activate a clause in their contract to remain with the manufacturer for two more years.

I🌜f Pramac decide to stay, they are expected to retain 🌼access to factory-spec bikes.

But Paolo Campinoti reportedly entertained the offer from Yamaha because of competition between Pramac and﷽ VR46 within the Duca🐟ti clan.

He was not confident of his team’s ability to retain their status within Ducati after 2026, when🔴 the new MotoGP regulations kick in.

Campinot🍬i was “seriously considering” the offer to s💮witch to Yamaha next year.

🐓That is now seemingly less and less likely to happen.

Ducati are carefully balanc✱ing this issue over their satellite teams with their big rider decision.

Enea Bastianini, Jorge Martin and Marc Marquez all want the 2025 factory▨ bike.

A Plan B - at least for Bastianini or Marquez - 𒀰could be Pramac, if they stay with Ducati.

But if they don’t, options for🐠 the riders would dramatically change.

Meanwhile, Yamaha will be forced to endure a 🎉setback in their recovery plans. The addition of a satellite team was reportedly “one of the arguments” that convinced Quartararo to sign a new deal.
