Yamaha wants its new MotoGP partner team Pramac to both help it develop its bike and help it develop future talent. So who fits the bill for its 2025 vacancies?
Pramac Racing announced a new seven-year partnership with Yamaha in MotoGP to develop the M1 bike and nurture premier-class talent. The deal brings stability to Pramac but poses challenges in rider selection for the factory-spec machines they will receive in 2025. Jack Miller, with experience at Pramac and factory teams, is a strong contender, but his inconsistent performance may be a concern for Yamaha. Franco Morbidelli, despite past Yamaha experience, seems hesitant to return to a development role and is exploring other options for 2025. Miguel Oliveira, a proven race winner with feedback-gathering skills, could be a suitable candidate for Pramac Racing. The decision on riders for the Yamaha partnership will be crucial for the team’s success in the coming years.
