Overview

  • His multi-year contract covers the 2026 season under existing MotoGP regulations and the 2027 shift to Pirelli tyres, 850cc engines, reduced aerodynamics and banned ride height devices.
  • Razgatlioglu claimed WorldSBK titles with Yamaha in 2021 and with BMW in 2024 and is currently second in the 2025 Superbike championship.
  • Pramac Racing’s switch from Ducati to Yamaha machinery this season sets the stage for Razgatlioglu’s integration into the team.
  • The signing will displace one of Pramac’s current riders—Jack Miller or Miguel Oliveira—with Oliveira reportedly at risk under a performance-related contract clause.
  • Yamaha has said it will announce the full Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP 2026 line-up in due course.
