Jake Dixon Touted for Pramac Yamaha Seat: A Look into MotoGP’s Future Talents and the Quest for the Perfect Riding Style

Jake Dixon endorsed for Pramac Yamaha over less compatible Moto2 competitor

Jake Dixon's "technique is well-suited for a Yamaha"

Jake Dixon's compatibility with the Yamaha has led to insiders within the paddock suggesting him for the upcoming Pramac initiative.

Dixon clinched a thrilling win in the Moto2 category at the British Grand Prix, held last weekend.

However, although he lacks a direct path to MotoGP, Tony Arbolino, a competitor in Moto2, is considered a candidate for a promotion with Pramac Yamaha, as reported by Sky Italia.

"Sylvain Guintoli mentioned to TNT Sports, 'There's a chance.'"

He faced challenges at the beginning of the season, but things are improving. He isn't the clear pick.

"In my view, selecting Miguel Oliveira is a smart decision. He's a captivating competitor and, for them, it would be a very logical move.

Choosing a younger cyclist comes as somewhat unexpected.

"You might have other men on your mind."

Before Dixon's resounding win at his home track, Guintoli remarked, "His way of riding would suit a Yamaha well."

"I recall the time Fabio Quartararo ascended to MotoGP. Observers were under the impression that he hadn't truly conquered Moto2. Yet, his approach to riding…

"Dixon's approach to riding [might be beneficial] for Yamaha."

Dixon remarked at Silverstone regarding his aspirations in MotoGP: "I began my racing career at the age of 14. Who else in the Grand Prix paddock can say they started at 14?

"Thus, it's inevitable that I'll be slightly more advanced in age by the time I arrive at the Grand Prix.

"I've always wanted to attend a MotoGP event, yet I believe everything unfolds as it should. If destiny has it that I'll attend one eventually, then it will happen; if not, I'm content with that. My ultimate goal is to secure a world championship title. It's been a lifelong dream of mine to emerge as a world champion, and I'm committed to striving towards that ambition."

Yet, Alonso Lopez emerges as another promising talent from Moto2 eyeing the opportunity with Pramac Yamaha.

"Who can say," Yamaha chief Lin Jarvis remarked regarding Lopez when speaking to Sky Italia.

"A few years back, we mentioned our interest in having him as a rider."

"We are keeping track of his progress, and when the opportune moment arrives for him to advance to the top tier, we will consider it."

Guintoli responded, "They're looking for someone who hasn't ridden a MotoGP bike before."

"This could be a positive thing. Take Pedro Acosta's case this season, for example. He jumped onto his motorcycle having never raced in MotoGP before, which was to be expected. He was unfamiliar with it, given its lack of aerodynamics and its unique engine."

"They require a person of that caliber. However, it's a difficult decision. Someone in the vein of Lopez…"
