But beyond that according to Crash.net, Marc Marquez and Marco Bezzecchi are likely to receive two GP25s for next season, remaining at their current teams.
Gavin Emmett, commentator for TNT Sports in France, commented that Pramac and Yamaha’s problems are ongoing and anything could happen if it reaches its peak. “You can keep Marco Bezzecchi in your network by giving VR46 a factory motorbike. Give someone else a one-year-old motorbike and Pramac could go to Yamaha. Whether that will happen or not, or whether Pramac can win the championship this year with Ducati, I don’t know. Maybe it’s part of the negotiations.”
Sylvain Guintoli predicts that Marc Marquez will want to stay at Gresini if he is offered a factory motorbike, even though that means there will be a change in the distribution of factory motorbikes supplied by Ducati. This means that Ducati may no longer have the ‘elite satellite team’ status that Pramac holds in 2024.

At the moment they have not chosen to activate this clause, but if they did this would prevent Ducati’s desire to split two factory spec satellite bikes across their two different satellite teams next year.
