Prima Pramac Racing was the MotoGP team champion in 2023 but narrowly missed out on the riders’ title – the higher-profile achievement. This year, the team is once again in the fight with Jorge Martín, who, after nine rounds, sits in second place, just ten points behind leader Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati). Despite the team’s future switch from Ducati to Yamaha, team manager Gino Borsoi believes they have the means to continue the battle until the end of the season.
The director told GPOne.com: ‘Winning a world championship is always a huge goal, regardless of whether you stay with a manufacturer or not. It was the same in 2023, and perhaps not winning last year gave us that extra push to win this year, to be faster and more consistent. That’s what we needed to improve’.
According to Borsoi, the tough moments in 2023 allowed Pramac to grow and gain experience: ‘I almost see last year’s great struggle as a positive thing for us. It was still a season to remember. We didn’t win the riders’ title, but we won the team title, and because of that experience, I think this year we are more complete’.
The Italian believes Pramac has everything needed to contend for the title again: ‘I hope the experience we gained in 2023 will take us to fight again until the end of the season. We have everything to achieve that. It would simply be a pleasure and joy to relive some of the sensations from last year and perhaps carry them through to the end of this year’.
