MotoGP | 2025 | Silly Season

According to Speedweek - Pramac are reportedly in “advanced negotiations” to switch to Yamaha machinery in 2025

This would probably make VR46 the primary satellite team, and get Bez on a factory bike

 

Strikes me as interesting that Yamaha’s brand-ambassador’s team isn’t a Yamaha satellite team.

 

Well, he's part owner of Dainese and wears OMP and a Bell helmet in cages.

 

Yeah but is he a Dainese “brand ambassador”?

 

supposedly Yamaha was giving him a sweetheart deal, but VR46 ain't saving Yamaha again lol

 

Taka never finished higher than 6th in the Moto2 championship. In 7 seasons he netted 2 race wins in Moto2. At least Ogua got to 2nd in the Moto2 championship, gaining 3 race wins in that year. It was a couple years ago, though.

 

I mean Taka has been riding the same POS that MM93 decided to abandon ship from. He was riding pretty decent before the Honda turned into a turd

 

If this happens, it will definitely shake up the grid. Isn't Fermin Aldeguer a contracted Ducati rider that was going to slot in at Pramac? What happens now?

Also, for kicks, IF VR46 swaps to Yamaha and they keep Morbidelli, that means he's right back where he started. LOL

 

Fair, I'm just saying. There's a pattern developing here. Honda needs a home grown hope. Even if it's a small hope.

 

If only Morbidelli was riding for VR46.....

 

I meant Pramac* my bad.

 

News flash, Digi is kicking Bez’s ass right now and has been since towards the end of last year. Watch a Bez interview, he’s not exactly charismatic and colorful.

 

one's a VR46 Academy rider, and the other isn't....pretty sure who has the upper hair

Irregardless of a better result here and there, Marini was the better pickup for a big team. As one of the forum’s dedicated Rossi haters, I’m glad he’s not like him…

 

Why don’t you like Rossi?

 

Because Rossi told him “irregardless” isn’t a word.

 

Weird rumor is Yamaha just buying Gresini to get their satellite team.

 

this didn’t age well… I know it’s practice… but he’s fast and happy today…. And VR46 is there… maybe he needed his mentor…. hope they both kick ass…

 

I can see that being plausible. I can't imagine Nadia Padovini want's to continue this way forever. There has to be an exit plan, and if Yamaha is writing a cheque that is as good as any.

 

Interesting to see when Martin ends up because Aprilia apparently doesn't pay and KTM has the only rider they NEED to pay
