Overview
- Toprak Razgatlioglu is confirmed to join Pramac Yamaha for 2026, creating direct competition for current riders Miguel Oliveira and Jack Miller.
- Oliveira trails Alex Rins, Jack Miller and Fabio Quartararo by 29 points and faces a contract clause that could see his deal terminated midseason if he fails to outscore at least one teammate.
- Having injured his shoulder at Termas de Rio Hondo in March, Oliveira said he will focus on delivering results on track rather than public statements to secure his seat.
- Jack Miller said he is untroubled by Razgatlioglu’s arrival, has fielded Superbike offers but remains intent on staying in MotoGP as he works to improve his performance.
- Miller revealed he has inspected Yamaha’s developing V4 engine and expressed gratitude to Pramac Racing for the opportunity to prove himself on the factory machine.
