Ducati admit “the risk is real” that Pramac will quit
“The whole mo🔴torbike world is rooting for Pramac ღto do something different"

Ducati have admitted the genuine possibility that Pramac will opt to leave in 2025.
The future of the satellite team has been in question all year, but has takꦜen another blow in the past week surrounding Marc Marquez’s signin♏g for the factory Ducati team next season.
Ducati revealed that their intention was to keep Marquez and Jorge Martin - which would have given Pramac a t🐽op-notch rider to contest the championship with again.
But Martin has signed for Aprilia leaving Pramac empty-handed, and with a contract that is set to exp🦩ire this year.
"The risk is real,” Ducati general manager Gigi Dall’Igna said to about Pramac leaving their ranꦡks.
“The whole motorbike world is 💃rooting for Pramac to do something diffeꦉrent from being with Ducati.
“But it would be both a personal and sporting disappointment, because Pramac and Paolo Camp💃inoti have been with us for a long time.
“They are part of the success we are experꦬiencing.
“It would be a shame, it's all to be evaluated, but the p✃roblem actuall🐻y exists."
Pramac seemingly clarified their future last week at the Italian MotoGP when team manager Gino Borsoi said they would run G♍P25 Ducatis next year.
However, Ducati sporting director Mauro Grassil꧑li then confirmed that no coཧntract had been signed yet.
The terms of Pramac’s current deal with Ducati reportedl☂y include a clause which the satellite team can activate, until July 31, enabling them to stay for two more years.
But it hasn’t been activated yet.
Yamaha are on the hunt to add a satellite team to their b𒊎rand for 2025 and are undeཧrstood to have tabled a lucrative offer for Pramac.
Yamaha have always🔴 been bullish and confident about their chance𒅌s of getting their wish.
There is still v꧙ery little clarity about whether Pramac will activate their contractual clause to remain at Ducati for t🦩he next two years, or go to Yamaha.
But it is clear that, next year, they ꦬcannot rely upon Marquez or Martin.
They still have Franco Morbidelli (whose con𝔍tract is also expiring) and could be handed Fermin Aldeguer, the Moto2 talent who will join a Ducat൲i MotoGP team next year.
Currently, Pramac’s Marti🍸n is leading the MotoGP championship a𒈔fter seven rounds.
