A remarkable and unexpected silly season rumour involving 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia has been shared in Italy.

Th🧔e MotoGP season is into its annual rider mark🍸et phase where teams and riders are considering what to do, and where to go, in 2026.

Unlike some, Bagnaia’s future is rock solid with a factory Ducati contract which lasts until the end of next year.

However, that hasn’t stopp🍰ed a rival manufacturer admiring Bagnaia and imagining him r🍷iding their bike.

Pecco Bagnaia is Yamaha’s ‘forbidden dream’

Yamaha are the manufactu✃rer wishing they couldꦜ lure Bagnaia, report.

Remarkably they are hoping to𝐆 tempt him “maybe as early as 2026”, according to Sky Italia.

Bagnaia has been described as a “forbidden dream” for Yamaha by the surprising report from ❀his home country.

That is because Yamaha know that Bagnaia’s relationship with Ducati “re🦹mains excellent” despite the difficult season he ෴is enduring.

Butꦚ Paolo Pavesio wantꦯs to make a huge first move as the top boss at Yamaha since replacing Lin Jarvis.

The manufacturer wants two elite riders on their factorꦅy bike - Fabio Quartararo “is not enouꦏgh”, the report claims.

Yamaha see a second top rider as essential to reclaiming their old status asꦬ MotoGP’s top brand.

Ba✱gnaia is the rider “for whom Yamaha would make any effort, economic and technical”, Sky Italia report.

🎀Yamaha is also, o📖f course, where Bagnaia's mentor Valentino Rossi enjoyed his heyday.

Yamaha eye-catching but Pecco Bagnaia’s status on contracts is clear

Yamaha have been progressin♊g as an impressive rate in 2025.

This year, they have added Pramac as a satellite team to double their quantity of riders and data. In the background they are working on a V4 engine but 𓆉continue to improve the current package.

Quartararo has claimed tꦡhree MotoGP pole positions consecutively. His lap record at Silverstone was proof of what his Yamaha can do under certain conditions.

Quartararo looked set to win the British MotoGP - which would have been a major moment i♓n Yamaha’s revival - until a ride height device problem halted him, and reduced him to tears.

Meanwhile, Bagnaia is struggling to tame his Ducati GP25. Even Marc Marquez found issues🤪 with 🌠it at Silverstone.

Bagnaia is third in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP standings, 72 points off leader Marc Marquez.

But his words about Jorge Martin’s supposed exit fro🧸m Aprilia make it cl🐲ear tha𝔍t he won’t be leaving Ducati before his own deal expires at the end of 2026.

“When you have a contract you need to fౠollow it, you cannot cancel it,” Baꦇgnaia said.

“In my opinion, ifꦓ y🧜ou take the words about something and if you sign something, you must respect it.”

Not what Yamaha want to hear.

He might be a dreaജm signing for them. But surely a rumour which will remain a dream only.
