All that was missing was the official announcement, and now it has arrived: starting next year, Pramac and Yamaha will flank their commitment in MotoGP with a new adventure in the intermediate class of MotoGP, where they will compete under the banner of the Pramac Yamaha Moto2 Team.
Defending the team's colors in this new project, connected to Yamaha's BLU CRU program and the Japanese manufacturer's and Paolo Campinoti's team's desire to expand grow new talent, will be Tony Arbolino and Izan Guevara.
Two young riders with good hopes, but with the right maturity to help the team take its first steps in the category. Of which will begin to take the measures in the first official winter tests, scheduled on February 7 and 8, 2025 at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Valencia.
"It is an honor to join Pramac and Yamaha in their new Moto2 project," said Arbolino, who is ready to fight at the top with his new team. "I have always loved Yamaha as per what they represent as a brand and history. Besides I have full trust in Pramac to help me become a better rider. I will do my best to deliver the best possible results. The title in Moto2 is our goal. I thank them for their trust in me."
A lot of enthusiasm also exudes from the words of Guevara, who will rediscover many faces familiar to him in what will be his third season in the intermediate class.
"I am very happy with this new chapter that I am about to begin. I will race with a team that is a family and is the reigning World Champion in MotoGP," stressed the 2022 Moto3 World Champion. " I am looking forward to working again with one of the people who helped me become World Champion, Gino Borsoi. I know many of the people who will be working in the team and I know it will be easy to work together. Above all, I want to thank Pramac and Yamaha for giving me the opportunity to race with them in 2025. I am sure we will achieve many successes. I am very motivated by this change and the project I will be involved in."
Just like their riders, Yamaha and the Pramac Racing team are also looking forward to this new step in their collaboration.
"We are thrilled that the collaboration between Yamaha and Pramac will also extend to the Moto2 class in 2025. The creation of Team Pramac Yamaha Moto2 reflects Yamaha's commitment to nurturing young talent and guiding them into competition, as well as the company's desire to return to the top ranks of MotoGP," explained Yamaha Managing Director Lin Jarvis. "This is a natural development that fits into Yamaha's acclaimed BLU CRU program, which successfully develops riders across multiple disciplines. With Tony Arbolino and Izan Guevara, we have an outstanding rider line-up for the new Moto2 team, combining skill, talent and potential. We look forward to their journey as we continue to build a stronger foundation for Yamaha's future in MotoGP."
Words echoed by Team Principal, Paolo Campinoti.

We are proud to strengthen this mission by expanding our presence in Moto2 ," he said, "I am confident that we have the team and technical expertise to start this exciting new chapter on the right track.
