Yamaha Teams

Yamaha didn’t want to miss out either, as they extended the contract with 2021 World Champion Fabio Quartararo, hoping to rebuild their championship prospects. We can only hope Yamaha will develop a competitive bike for Quartararo, as he chose to stay instead of leaving for Aprilia. There is hope, as Yamaha and Prima Pramac Racing revealed that they will be joining forces in 2025. The second rider for Yamaha will be Alex Rins, who signed a new two-year deal before the British Grand Prix.

Rumors Surrounding the 2025 MotoGP Grid

With Yamaha joining forces with Pramac, they are looking for two more riders to fill their lineup next season, and it appears they will have plenty of suitors. Meanwhile, Honda has one spot open in the LCR Honda team, raising questions about who will take that seat and where Takaaki Nakagami will go for the 2025 season. The rider market is looking strong, with both KTM riders Jack Miller and Augusto Fernandez searching for rides. But rumours are sugesting that Jack Miller is set to remain on the grid with a seat at Pramac Yamaha. We’re also waiting to see what the future holds for Franco Morbidelli—will he move to VR46?. It will likely be several weeks before we know the full grid for the next season. There are only five seats available for the upcoming season.
