Pramac Racing, the reigning MotoGP World Champion team, is entering a crucial phase of the 2024 season. With just five weekends and ten races remaining, the Italian team led by Gino Borsoi and Paolo Campinoti is battling for the title with Jorge Martin. But it’s not just the championship race that’s capturing the spotlight: Pramac is also preparing to turn an important page with its switch to Yamaha for 2025.
At the end of this season, George Martin leads the title race with 21 points ahead of Pecco Bagnaia, which places Pramac in a strategic position. After coming close to victory last year, this time could be the right one. But beyond this epic battle between the Ducati GP24 riders, Pramac Racing is already planning its future with Yamaha .
The partnership Pramac-Yamaha for 2025, which has been officially sealed, promises to be much more than just a change of manufacturer. Pramac will bring his experience acquired from Ducati to Yamaha, and this transfer of skills could well give a second wind to the Japanese firm. As explained Gino Borsoi, the objective is to make a “copy and paste” of the working methods which have made the success of Ducati : " We have internalized the Ducati working method and we want to continue to benefit from it in the future » we read on speedweek.

But what could really tip the scales in favor of Yamaha , it is the decision of Several Ducati technicians to join Pramac in this new project. These transfers of skills and personnel from the Bologna racing department will be decisive for the development of the Yamaha M1. " These people from Bologna bring us a lot of experience ", entrusts Borsoi.
Pramac Racing not only maintains a fierce fight for the 2024 title, but is preparing to become a key player in the recovery of Yamaha . With a methodical approach and reinforcements from Ducati, the team aims to bring the M1 back to the top of MotoGP.
As for George Martin, his fate is sealed: whatever the outcome of the season, he will race in 2025 on the Aprilia RS-GP. But for now, all attention is focused on the title race, where every point counts. If bagnaia manages to make up the deficit before the final whistle, Ducati will certainly retain his world title. If Martin wins, it will not only be a big blow for Pramac before their departure for Yamaha. But also a nice snub from the Martinator who will go to Aprilia with the Champion's plaque...
