On Monday 3 June, Motorsport.com broke the news that Ducati had made a U-turn on its decision to promote championship leader Jorge Martin from Pramac to its factory squad. With Marquez stating at the Italian Grand Prix that racing on a factory bike at Pramac was “not an option” for him, Ducati’s plans to keep both riders were scuppered.
com revealed over the Italian GP weekend that Espargaro is set to become Honda’s test rider in 2025. With Martin joining Aprilia, it raises questions over the future of Pramac as a Ducati satellite team. With Marquez shunning the idea of riding for Pramac and it losing its star rider in Martin, the prospect of it switching to Yamaha machinery has gotten stronger. If that is to happen, Motorsport.com understands VR46 could get the two factory Ducatis currently raced by Pramac next year.
