After nearly 20 years, Ducati and Pramac will part ways following this MotoGP season. Paolo Campinoti’s team has decided to pursue a different path by forming a new partnership with Yamaha to become their second factory team.
Despite the imminent separation, the relationship between Borgo Panigale and its satellite team remains intact, recognizing the successful joint journey maintained since 2005 – a partnership that saw Pramac clinch the team championship in 2023.
Gigi Dall’Igna, General Manager of Ducati Corse, expressed gratitude, saying: ‘I want to thank Paolo Campinoti and the Pramac Racing team for all the commitment, dedication, and great work we have done together in these 20 years of collaboration. Our relationship started in 2005, and we have achieved important milestones together. Pramac Racing was the first independent Ducati team to win a race in MotoGP and won the Teams’ World Title in 2023, as well as the Best Independent Team Title several times. We are sorry that we cannot continue together in the future’.
With more than half of the season still ahead, Dall’Igna assured full support for Pramac in the coming months, especially as Jorge Martín contends for the championship: ‘We have to stay focused on the present: we will do our best to support Pramac Racing, Jorge Martín and Franco Morbidelli until the end so that we can achieve other important goals this season’.
