Ducati insist they want to keep their t🐲hree satellite teams d๊espite Yamaha’s interest.

Yamaha’s desperation to add to their two bikes on the 2025 MotoGP grid has seen them strongly link♏ed with Ducati’s Pramac, VR46 and Gresini projects.

Ducati insist the saga must be ꦆresolved by August.

Ducati sporting director Mauro Grassilli told : “The goal I was given is to keep the𒅌 current status until 2026 and that is the main option.

“Yam🌄aha is doing a great job in looking for a satellite team trying to take one of the two away from us, while I want to keep them 💯all.

“I also know that it is not easy to manage two satellite teams♚ plu﷽s one factory supported team. I don’t think it will have a long-term future.

“From a technical point of view it’s very difficult and every company has limitations, so someone can start looking around for closer treatment to the officia🌟l one.

“I am very confident and very po🐟sitive to keep this situation until the end of 2026 and a structure like now.

“So with Pramac as a factory suppo🤡rted team with 🌸two factory bikes and VR46 and Gresini as satellite teams.

“Fermin Aldeguer, as per contract, will go to the factory supported team, which rig💧ht now is Pramac.”

Pramac and VR46 are both out of contract this year so are negotiating n🥀ew deal✤s with Ducati.

VR46 reportedly rejected Yamaha’s ad💎vances weeks ago.

Yamaha were 𓂃tipped to be in serious talks with Pr🦂amac.

Pramac have an o♉ption to automatically extend their Ducati deal by two years, and to keep their factory-spec bikes, although it hasn’t been activated yet.

Yamaha have most recently been linked with acquiring Gresini which wou🧔ld be a major shift.

Gresini are contracted to Ducati for 2025 but are suspected to have a release clause whic⛎h another manufacturer could buy out.

A report from in the paddock at the 𝄹Spanish MotoGP this week suggests that Gresini will become a Yamaha team in 2025.
