In addition to the two official team units, Ducati will announce in Mugello the renewal of the agreement with its current partner, Pramac , for a new period from 2022, adding two prototypes identical to the factory ones to the lineup of red bikes in the grill.
In parallel, Borgo Panigale executives are negotiating with Aramco VR46 Racing Team and Gresini Racing to supply them with bikes for next season, and they claim to be ready and willing to put eight Desmosedici on the MotoGP World Championship grid.
From the Ducati side they point out that the talks with the new formation owned by Valentino Rossi are open and that at the moment no agreement has been closed, even though some Italian media take it for granted.
Until last weekend, at least, those responsible for VR46 were still negotiating with Yamaha so that the Japanese would be their suppliers, and such leaks may respond to an attempt to pressure the fretboard brand, which if it decides to continue with his current partner, Petronas , and does not increase his bikes on the grid to six (something that in principle they do not plan), would lose all contractual ties with Valentino Rossi , the rider who has been his image since 2004.
The team owned by the sadly deceased Fausto Gresini , now in the hands of his family, continues with the project and has signed an agreement with Dorna to keep its place in MotoGP until the end of 2026.
The private structure maintains open negotiations with Ducati and from Borgo Panigale they are providing all possible facilities to help push the project forward.
Although the relationship between Aprilia and the Grenisi team, merged in recent years, has not been the best for a long time, the possibility that the manufacturer from Noale decides to put two satellite bikes on the table keeps the door open to continue the collaboration in the future, being the possibility that they see with better eyes from Dorna, promoter of the championship.
The difference between Aprilia and Ducati, for Gresini, is that while his current partner would only supply him with bikes and material, and would charge him the rate price for it, the Borgo Panigale factory would take care of a bike, a rider and the engineers. , which would reduce costs considerably.
