Paolo Campinoti, owner of Pramac Yamaha, recently disclosed the uncertainty surrounding their 2025 rider lineup. With Jorge Martin’s departure to Aprilia and Franco Morbidelli unlikely to return, several names are under consideration.
Jack Miller, Fabio di Giannantonio, and Andrea Iannone—despite his doping ban—are potential candidates. Campinoti mentioned, “Andrea Iannone is someone I personally like, but Yamaha will make the final decision.”
He firmly denied Toprak Razgatlioglu joining the team. “Razgatlioglu will not be riding for us,” Campinoti confirmed. The selection process is set to conclude in the coming weeks. “We will decide in the coming weeks,” Campinoti added. “Our goal is to recruit the best talent for success.”
In a recent interview, Paolo Campinoti, the owner of Pramac Yamaha, addressed the uncertainty surrounding the team’s 2025 rider lineup. With Jorge Martin’s confirmed move to Aprilia and Franco Morbidelli’s future with the team in doubt, Campinoti has started considering various potential candidates for the coveted seats.
Among the names floating around are Jack Miller, who currently rides for KTM, and Fabio di Giannantonio, who is with Gresini Ducati. Another surprising name in the mix is Andrea Iannone, who has been serving a four-year suspension due to a doping violation. Despite this, Iannone remains a figure of interest for Campinoti. “Andrea Iannone is someone I personally like very much. His passion and talent are undeniable, but ultimately, it will be Yamaha’s decision to make,” Campinoti stated.
However, one name that has been definitively ruled out is Toprak Razgatlioglu. The Turkish rider, who has been making waves in the Superbike World Championship, was rumored to be a contender for the Pramac Yamaha seat. Campinoti was clear on this matter: “Razgatlioglu will not be riding for us. He is a great rider, but he is not in our plans for 2025.”
As the MotoGP season progresses, the selection process for the new riders will be a focal point for the team. “We will decide in the coming weeks,” Campinoti added. “Our goal is to recruit the best talent available to ensure our continued success in the championship.”
With the team’s ambitions set high, the coming weeks will be crucial in shaping Pramac Yamaha’s future. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see who will ultimately ride the M1 bikes in 2025, as the team strives to maintain its competitive edge in MotoGP.
