Before Yamaha announced Prima Pramac Racing as their new satellite team in MotoGP from 2025, there was much speculation that the partnership could be with Pertamina Enduro VR46 – considering the past of its owner, Valentino Rossi, with the Iwata-based manufacturer, where he is currently an ambassador.
However, this connection of Il Dottore to Yamaha did not influence any decision – nor did his overall past in team’s decisions. The assurance was given by team director Uccio Salucci in an interview with GPOne.com:
– When Vale and I spoke, we agreed on one aspect: his history cannot influence the sports projects that came after. We managed to keep the projects separate, and it’s not certain that our paths won’t come together one day.
Salucci added: ‘However, it makes me laugh to hear about Rossi at Yamaha just because he comes from Yamaha; it’s a bit of coffee shop talk. In decisions, there are several factors, and sometimes Vale and I can’t decide because we are in a group of people’.
