The four-year Fiat-Yamaha MotoGP partnership has cꦯome to ꩲan end.

A message on the team's official Twitter page @fiatyamahateam states that it won't be updated and cꦉonfirms "The team will change title sponsor and therefore it won't be "Fiat Yamaha Team" anymore."

The team's official website also c💟onfirms the agreement is over.

Despite winning all three MotoGP titles in 2010, and retaining new world 🌠champion Jorge Lorenzo for next season, Fiat's departure had been expected due to Italian superstar Valentino Rossi's switch from Yamaha to Ducati.

Fiat was Yamaha's first non-tobacco title sponsor of the four-stroke MotoGP erꩵa and, while its debut 2007 season brough𝕴t little success, Fiat-liveried YZR-M1s have won the Riders' and Teams' World Championship every year since 2008.

Although an Italian car manufacturer sponsoring a Japanese motorcycle team seemed a strange ꦿmix, Fiat explained MotoGP allowed it to access a younger car-buying audience than F1.

Brands such as Air Asia and Telefonica have been linked to the sponsorship positio🐈n vacated by Fiat, but it seems no deal has been concluded and it remai🍌ns possible that a corporate Yamaha livery could be used by Lorenzo and new team-mate Ben Spies in 2011.

Should the most successful manufacturer of recent seasons - Yamaha has won the triple crown of Riders', Teams' and Manufacturers' titles for the past three years running - be unable to secure a title sponsor of value, it will be a further worrying signღ for MotoGP economics.
