Pramac Yamaha have officially announced its partnership will extend into the Moto2 class starting from the 2025 season.
As part of the new cooperation between Pramac and Yamaha, the new outfit will replace the Yamaha Mastercamp team.
Alongside the announcement of the team, Pramac also revealed that Tony Arbolino and Izan Guevara will be the team’s riders for 2025.
Pramac is also set to use Boscoscuro chassis for its Moto2 debut, something which helped Ai Ogura win the world championship this season.
The team is set to make its official on track debut in the Moto2 preseason test in February 2025, which is scheduled to take place in Valencia.
“We are thrilled that Yamaha’s collaboration with Pramac will extend to the Moto2 class straight away in 2025,” said Yamaha Racing managing director Lin Jarvis in a press release.
“The creation of the Pramac Yamaha Moto2 Team reflects Yamaha’s dedication to nurturing young talents and guiding them through the racing ranks as well as the company’s dedication to be back at the top of MotoGP.
“With Tony Arbolino and Izan Guevara, we have an outstanding rider line-up for the new Moto2 team, combining skills, talent, and potential. “We look forward to seeing their journey unfold as we continue building a stronger foundation for Yamaha’s future in MotoGP.”
