Pramac Racing has been a satellite team of Ducati in MotoGP for almost two decades. At this time, it is even the closest to the factory in terms of conditions, having the latest version of the Desmosedici GP for both riders.
Despite this proximity, the future partnership is still uncertain. The contract between Pramac and Ducati ends at the end of this season and, so far, the renewal has not been formalized. It must be done in less than two months.
According to Motorsport.com, Ducati gives Pramac a deadline to renew the contract: June 2nd, the Sunday of the Italian GP. Paolo Campinoti’s team has an option to extend the contract until the end of 2026, but it is necessary to formally announce this intention.
In recent days, rumors have emerged that one of the aspects complicating the negotiations revolves around the supplied bikes and the alleged possibility of Pramac losing one of the factory bikes. However, team manager Gino Borsoi assured GPOne.com that this is not a current issue.
On the other hand, there is speculation about the interest of other manufacturers in partnering with Pramac – Yamaha, which currently does not have a satellite team; and KTM, which has been wanting a second satellite team to join GasGas Tech3.
