Past and present Pramac riders, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Johann Zarco and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin, feel the team’s switch to Yamaha machinery will be a loss to Ducati in MotoGP next season.

Zarco spent t♏hree seasons at Pramac, culminating in a long-⭕awaited debut MotoGP victory at Phillip Island last year, before switching to LCR Honda this season.

The Frenchman is happy to see that 2025 grid more ‘balanced’ and thin༺ks the battle for third to tenth places will change.

𒁏But he doesn’t expect anyone to challenge Du𒆙cati’s 2025 factory line-up of current champion Francesco Bagnaia and new signing Marc Marquez.

It will be good for the Yamaha project. They n꧙eed more bikes to develop and get more information,” Zarco said.

“It's good to get more Japanese bikes in the championship, because no💛w the European bikes, above all the Ducatis, get too much advantage.

“So there will♊ be a little bit better balance and I hope that the Japanese [factories] will reduce the gap with Ducati.

“I think Marc and Pec𓂃co for next year, in the top team, will be almost impossible to re🎀ach and they will fly all the year.

“But at least from the third position to the tenth position, thereꦺ will be some changes, and that will be good.

“And I think also, Yamaha doing improvements and getting more bikes on the grid will push Honda to also make the changes and to pꦿush t𝓰hemselves to find solutions.”

Martin, who made history for Pramac as its first MotoGP winner in his rookie 2021 campaign, finished title rꦆunner-up last year and, with Zarco, gave Pramac a memorable victory in the team’s championship.

Overlooked for the 2025 factory ride, Martin is switching to Aprilia ne🐠xt season.

“Well, I knew 99% alrea𝔍dy in Mugello [that Pramac would join Yamaha]. Big news I think,” he said.

“What can I say? I think all the information that Pramac is providing to the factory is super important and [Ducati] will🧸 100% miss it next season.

“And Yamaha will be really helped by Pramac, to have more bikes on 🌟the track and to develop their bike.”

Pramac is yet to name any of its 2025 riders. Fabio di Giannantonio was hotly linked but is set to remain at VR46, leaving the likes of Miguel Oliveira and Jack Miller plus Moto2 stars Sergio Garcia and Alons🏅o Lopez as rumoured candidates for the factory-spec M1s.

VR46 is expected to get at least one of the factory GP25 bikes that would hav꧂e been allocated to Pramac next season.
