Yamaha says their focus for 2015 remains on its ‘proven’ Marc Marquez-beating line-up of Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo.
Honda recently penned a long-term deal with Moto3 runner-up Jack Miller while also promoting Scott Redding to a Factory class bike.
Suzuki meanwhile snapped up rookie Moto2 race winner Maverick Vinales on a multi-year contract, but Yamaha elected not to change any riders for 2015.
Seven time champion Rossi and double title winner Lorenzo finished second and third to Marquez in this year’s world championship.
Each of them won two races, but the Repsol Honda star’s run of ten straight victories ended any title opposition from Yamaha.
Rossi and Lorenzo are confirmed at the official Movistar Yamaha team for at least the next two seasons.
Looking to 2015, Yamaha said that a strong start from the opening official test at Sepang in February will be essential.
