Bastianini lost his factory Ducati seat last year to Marc Marquez, forced to swiftly find a new home at a 🍎new manufacturer.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pramac Yamaha are loo🐷king at Bastianini and considering him, according to Sky Italia.

Yamaha dream of fielding a referไence rider and a rookie, in both their factory and satellite teams, the report states.

Bastianini is “considered the ideal choice” by෴ Pramac Yamaha in the role of reference rider.

They also likeꦫ KTM’s Pedro Acosta, much like every other manufacturer in the paddock.

But Bastianini, whose best result was P7 in Texas, is contracted in 2026 by KTM. However, he has yet to d♔iscover his grand pri💞x-winning form from his Ducati days on a KTM.
