Gigi Dall’Igna wants Ducati’s “friendship” with Pramac to continue.

However, w🤪ith a꧅ vital contractual deadline fast approaching, the satellite team have still not committed themselves to the manufacturer.

Yamaha are known to be lurking in the background with a tempting offer to 🍰acquire Pramac.

“It’s clear that we’re in the final stages because the time to make a decisꩵion is running out,”𒊎 Ducati general manager Dall’Igna told Sky Italia.

“The solution is clearly not in our hands so we’ll just have to w♉ait.

“We have a history with Pramac. We’ve worked together a lot and we have a frie🏅ndship that binds us.

“So I hope Paolo Ca🎃mpinoti will make the decision to stay.”

Pramac’s current contract as a Ducati satellite team expires this year but they have a clause, which is valid until July 🌃31, to extend the partnership by two more years.

It ౠmeans Pr♐amac are able to consider their options until the very last moment, if they wish.

If theಞy stay, they can continue counting on a pair of factory-spec 🌊bikes. Currently, Pramac’s Jorge Martin leads the MotoGP championship on a GP24.

But, Martin is going to Aprilia and Marc Marquez will move from Gresini to the factory team next year. Enea Bastianini a💦nd Maverick Vinales have sig𝔉ned to KTM leaving Pramac without a stellar option as a rider.

Franco Morbidelli’s deal runs 🐽o𒈔ut this season. Fermin Aldeguer will move from Moto2 to MotoGP with Ducati so is a likely option if Pramac stay next season.

However, their silence has 🅘cau⭕sed rumours to intensify that a switch might happen.

Yamaha are keen to double their presence on theꦍ 2025 grid by adding a satellite t🦂eam.

Pramac team boss Gino Borsoi is adamantꦅ that the team will opt to remain with Ducati next year, but until official confirmation is signed, sealed and delivered? Then Dall’Igna and co will continue to worry about the status of their team.
