Pramac makes history and becomes the first satellite team to win the MotoGP

While the Qatar GP might have been a nightmare for Jorge Martín, Prima Pramac had many reasons to celebrate. For the first time ever, a satellite team has clinched the overall team championship in MotoGP.

With 620 points collected, Pramac holds an 89-point lead over Ducati, with 66 points yet to be awarded at the Valencia GP. Another satellite team, the Mooney VR46 Racing Team, sits in third place, trailing Ducati by 11 points.

Before this title, since the MotoGP era began in 2002, the best result achieved by an independent team was the second place: a feat accomplished by Pons in 2003, followed by Gresini the next year, and most recently by CryptoDATA RNF MotoGP Team in 2020.
