With this insistent rumor coming from Italy about the future of the Pramac team, we see that the world of MotoGP is in full transformation. With the arrival of Liberty Media by 2027, we expect a revolution which could reshape the alliances between teams and manufacturers. Among the most scrutinized strategic movements, that of Valentino Rossi's Team VR46, which, against all expectations, seems to be getting closer to Ducati, leaving Yamaha and Lin Jarvis in uncertainty but also plunging the Pramac team into real perplexity...
In MotoGP, if we live the season intensely, we already have our sights set on the horizon 2027... 2027 ? Yes. Because MotoGP is about to enter a new era, with big changes coming under the leadership of Liberty Medium, new owner of the championship. This turning point promises an overhaul of the competition, aiming for greater fairness between the teams and potentially the arrival of new manufacturers. In this context, customer teams play a crucial role in their alliance with manufacturers, and two scenarios emerge for the team Prima Pramac, currently at the end of his contract with Ducati.
According to the expertise of SkySports.it, on the one hand, Prima Pramac could renew its commitment with Ducati for two more years, although this could mean a lack of prospects beyond 2027. On the other hand, the team could seize the opportunity to become the satellite team of Yamaha from 2025, the promise of a more stable and potentially more prosperous future.
And why not a Prima Pramac Yamaha team with Andrea Iannone in it?
This transition period is marked by uncertainty, but also by the hope of revitalizing the competition. The partnership between the Team VR46 by Valentino Rossi and Ducati strengthens, crowding out Yamaha who, surprised and disappointed, must reconsider her plans. The VR46 now seems destined to become the preferred partner of Ducati, a collaboration supported by sponsor Pertamina.
To Prima Pramac, the dilemma is significant. Renew with Ducati would mean benefiting from the expertise and quality of the team led by Gino Borsoi, while remaining aware of the long-term limits of this alliance. To opt for Yamaha , on the other hand, would open the way to significant technical and economic advantages, with the possibility of attracting new talents, or the return of old glories... Indeed, in this tornado of changes, Andrea Iannone, recently returned to Superbike after a doping suspension, resurfaces as a possible recruit for Pramac, regardless of the manufacturer...
Whatever the choice of Prima Pramac, this decision will have significant repercussions on the future of MotoGP, illustrating the complexity of the sporting and economic issues of the championship. Teams and drivers are faced with strategic choices, sometimes difficult, but essential to shape the future of the competition.
