Ducati and Pramac Racing will extend their factory support partnership into 2024.

On the eve of the Italian MotoGP round, the two organisations announced the extension of their relationship for at least the next three seasons.

Having worked together since 2005, Pramac has served as the primary satellite operation for Ducati, as well as a staging ground for riders including Australian Jack Miller and his current teammate Francesco Bagnaia before stepping up to the factory team.

“It is truly a great pleasure for us to be announcing the renovation of our partnership with Pramac Racing for the following three MotoGP seasons.” said Paolo Ciabatti, Ducati Corse Sporting Director.

“Together with Pramac Racing, we have obtained very important achievements. Thanks to the close collaboration with them, we have been able to make young riders flourish, who then moved up with success to the official team.”

“Furthermore, we are certain to have what it takes to be able to enjoy many other great achievements together with Pramac Racing!”

With current spec factory Ducati bikes, Pramac Racing has been competitive in its own right in 2021, having picked up four podiums in the first five races thanks to current riders Johann Zarco and rookie Jorge Martin.

“We are extremely proud of the work put in and the results we have achieved during these years together with Ducati.” Paolo Campinoti, Pramac Racing Team Principal.

“We are delighted to be continuing this beautiful adventure for the next three years.”

“With Ducati, we have created a very special relationship, we have reached incredible objectives and, the best is yet to come!”

It’s been a busy week for the Italian manufacturer in the lead up to their home event at Mugello also confirming an extension of Jack Miller’s deal after winning back to back races.
