Yamaha were involvꦗed in the decision-making process over Pramac’s 2025 rider 🥃line-up, Max Bartolini said.

Pramac will become a satel♌lite team for Yamaha from next season, leaving their long-standing relationship with Ducati.

The duo to ride for the new-look Pramac Yamaha team, riding factory material, is widely expected to be Miguel Oliveira and Jack Miller although🐻 it remains unconfirmed.

“In general, Yamaha was involved 🌊with Pramac in all decisions about the riders,” sai♛d technical director Bartolini.

“We made the best decision for the team and for the cඣ⛎ompany.

♊“We have four experienced riders which wil♔l be useful in comparisons with other bikes, and to give comments.

“Also, experienced riders can adjust🗹 easily to a bike𓄧 because they have ridden other bikes before.”

Notably, Bartolini has worked before alongside Miller a♒t Ducati.

Although they have yet to clarify who their riders will be, Bartolini’s admission that they have recru💜ited two ‘experienced’ riders is a clear indication that Miller and Oliveꩲira will arrive.

Pramac Yaꦓmaha had ෴previously been linked with a host of Moto2 talents.

Development boost for Yamaha

For Bartolini and the factory Yamaha team, addin𝐆g two more bikes is a huge boost for their development.

“ꦿVery important,” he said. “For my past experience, to have many riders is impo🌜rtant for a technician to get direction and to speed up the development.

“Also, for the ri🐠der to get some reference. Using data from other riders is something that makes a rider grow up faster.”

Bartolini said about the progress of Yamah💃a this year: “Our gap is quit꧒e big. Around one second.

“It’s something to imprꦜove all areas of the✃ bike. We have some weak areas. But in general, it’s a long job to improve all areas - aerodynamics, electronics, chassis.

“Until now, we 𒆙tried to change the way of working.

“We have bright parts that work. Impr🔜ovements are always very small.

“When you gain half-a-tꦉenth you don’t see the differenceಌ.

“The biggest im🌄provement is to settle the structure, the improvement, the way to work.”
