It’s not just riders who could be on the move in the 2025 MotoGP silly season, with manufacturers fighting to recruit new teams to their ranks as well
and the fact that his VR46 Academy feeds riders into the Yamaha system make a move back to the Japanese manufacturer a strong possibility. However, there has also been speculation that KTM is interested in partnering with VR46, which could potentially offer Rossi a chance to ride for his own team with KTM machinery. Another factor to consider is the potential involvement of Suzuki, which has a good relationship with VR46 and could be an attractive option for Rossi’s team. Ultimately, it will depend on the financial and competitive offers from each manufacturer, as well as Rossi’s personal preferences.
As for the other satellite teams, Pramac Ducati and LCR Honda are both without contracts for 2025. Pramac has been a loyal customer of Ducati for many years and is likely to continue that partnership, although there have been some rumors of a possible switch to KTM. LCR, on the other hand, has a long-standing relationship with Honda, and while there were rumors of a split, it seems that Honda has managed to retain its satellite team.
In terms of other teams and manufacturers, Ducati and Honda seem to be content with their current lineups and are not actively seeking new satellite teams. Aprilia, on the other hand, has recently partnered with American newcomer Trackhouse, but it remains to be seen if they will expand their presence in MotoGP beyond their current setup.
Overall, the grid for the 2025 MotoGP season is still uncertain, with several satellite teams and manufacturers involved in negotiations and potential switches. It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds and which teams end up with which manufacturers.
