MotoGP, Meregalli: "The agreement with Pramac? It couldn't be better than this."

The announcement of Pramac's separation from Ducati to join up with Yamaha next year was definitely welcomed by the official team. Accustomed to managing the problems that have been afflicting them and the M1 for some time now, on their own - without actually being able to find a way out - starting in 2025, Yamaha will finally be able to count on the support that could prove decisive for the team in overcoming that impasse that has been forcing them to struggle at the back of the pack.

In this sense, Fabio Quartararo - the 2021 world champion who's forced to do somersaults in order to get into the top 10 or on the fringes of it - has, from the outset, expressed how happy he is about the news announced in June. And he can now be joined by Team Manager Massimo Meregalli, who's convinced that the Japanese brand has made the coup of the century, by stealing a top-level team like Campinoti's from the competition in Borgo Panigale.

"I see this as a very good move, since we've always complained about not being able to have more than two bikes on the track. Given the kind of structure the Italian team has, it's going to be an added value for us," he said, as reported by the Paddock-GP website.

The manager went on to clarify how the collaboration will be more like the one KTM has today with Tech 3, namely, of a second factory team, rather than just a satellite team using outdated material, as it had been doing in the past with RNF.

"The way we'll be working will be very different from then, since it's going to be an independent factory team. What I'm pleased about is that it's among the most professional in the paddock. In my opinion, there couldn't be a better deal than this," he concluded.
