Ducati Corse boss Gigi Dall'Igna recently expressed concerns over the possibility of the Prima Pramac Racing team leaving the Borgo Panigale factory. “ The risk of losing Pramac is real. The whole world is encouraging Pramac to do something different from Ducati, " did he declare. “ For us, it would be a personal and sporting disappointment. They have been with us for a very long time, they are part of our success and it would be a big disappointment. I think everything still needs to be evaluated, but the problem exists."
The team led by Paolo Campinoti must make a crucial decision. She can choose to renew her contract with Ducati for two more years, or accept a tempting offer of Yamaha . The loss of George Martin, combined with the impossibility of replacing it with Marc Marquez, could push Pramac to seriously consider a change.
With George Martin leading the championship and expected to join Aprilia, and a team Pramac tempted by Yamaha , the situation becomes complicated. Gigi Dall'Igna, representative of Ducati, stressed the importance of remaining professional and sporty.
Gigi Dall’Igna: “ Martin will continue to have all the technical and human support of Ducati »
Gigi Dall'Igna thus mentions on Sky : " we play sports and we must be sporty. Nothing can be said about Ducati's management of motorcycles and riders even in customer teams. In recent years, all our pilots have had the opportunity to express their talent and Martin will therefore continue to have all the technical and human support of Ducati."
The possible separation of Pramac would be a big blow for Ducati. “ They have been with us for a very long time,” recalled the manager of Ducati. The collaboration between the two entities has been fruitful, and their separation would mark the end of an era.
The coming months will be decisive for the future of Pramac and the Borgo Panigale factory. The decision to Pramac could have a significant impact not only on both teams, but also on the entire MotoGP championship. Attention is now focused on the upcoming announcements and the decisions that will result from them.
