Yamaha have admitted thei✃r interest in Alonso Lopez, but stopped short of confirming 🔜whether he’d be promoted to MotoGP next year.

The ad🌱dition of the Pramac satellite team, who will leave Ducati and join Yamaha in 2025, has created two new openings on the grid.

A host of current MotoGP riders are interested in the additional Yamahas, but young starlets from🦹 Moto2 could also be considered.

Yamaha managing directo🎀r Lin Jarvis was askeꦜd if Lopez could be given the chance.

"Who knows,” he responded to .

“We said a 🃏cou꧟ple of years ago that he is a rider we are interested in.

“We are following hi🃏s career, when the right time comes for him to move up to the premier class we can think about it. 

“No𝔍w we have just signed the contract with Pramac, we think to the young Moto2 riders for the future.

“But I don't know if this is the right time ꧑to take th🎃em."

MotoGP currently꧋ has just one confirmed rookie next year, in Duca꧅ti’s Fermin Aldeguer.

Lopez💯, the 22 year old Spaniard, is racing in his fourth season of Moto2.

The Speed Up Racing rider is currently fifth in the Moto2 s🔜tandings.

Lopez🌜 won the season-opening Moto▨2 grand prix in Qatar.

Although he is attracting admiring glances from the Yamah🤪a MotoGP hierarchy, other premier class riders are also circling for the new bikes made available by Pramac’s decision to quit Ducati.
