Yamaha is looking to expand its presence on the MotoGP grid in order to improve development, with Ducati currently supplying three satellite teams with factory machinery.

This potential switch could also have implications on the rider market, affecting promises made to Moto2 rider Fermin Aldeguer and limiting options for other out-of-contract riders due to the reduction of Ducati bikes on the grid.
