Pramac’s competitiveness caused “cracks” to appear in the re🧸lationship with Ducati, it has been claimed.

The satellite team will switch to Yamaha next season, ending a 20-year associatio🐎n with Ducati.

T💦he addition of two mor⛦e bikes to Yamaha’s structure could aid their development back to MotoGP’s pinnacle, they hope.

“It’s an investment and, also, an achievement,” Ya🅷maha boss Massimo ♉Meregalli said.

“The Pramac structure is one of the best in this💧 paddock. With them, we want to build a really strong relationship.

“The target we have to woꦕrk with them is totally different to the one in previoꦆus years with other independent teams.

“Fou💝r bikes on the grid is an advantage. Until now, we build alone.

“We already told them that there is a ꦏlot of work to do! The aim and the spirit is 🥀very good.”

TNT Sports’ Sylvain Guintoli commented: “Pramac are well regarded by the w🍰hole paddock.

“For Yamaha it’s a huge win, a g🎐reat achievement𓆏. They can use the Prama structure to get better.

“You get the feelin✨g that, with Ducati, they h൲it the end of the road.

“They became too competiti𒁃ve. They became a problem.

“They 𒀰were a problem at the end of lasꦅt year when Jorge Martin fought with Pecco Bagnaia.

“You saw the cracks appear 𓂃because theꦜy were too competitive.

“They reached the end of the road, they did t♔heir job. Now they star💧t a new challenge with all the experience that they’ve got.”    

He added: “It’s an amicable divorce - but it’s still a div🐟orce.

ꦬ“There are going to be some digs. You don’t stop a relationship like this for no reason.

“We saw cracks last year when Marti♔n was challenging Bagnaia for the title, and you could sense conflict 👍already.

“With Martin not able to go up? All o🦩f this has been in the balance.

“The Yamaha project is long-term and, financially, it is interesting for Pramꦛac. There is no smoke without fire…”

Pramac missed out on the MotoGP championshi♑p at the final round of last season when Martin was denied by Bagnaia.

Martin will leave for Aprilia in 2025 but could take the෴ #1 with him, if he wins this season’s championship representing Pramaꦺc.

But, since their move to Yamaha was confirmed, Pramac have ꩲaccused Ducati of no longer believin🍸g in the development of young riders.

Ducat꧟i’s choice to pick Marc M♌arquez for their 2025 official team has cost them Martin, Marco Bezzecchi, and Pramac.
