Razgatlioglu Joins Pramac Yamaha for MotoGP 2026

Double World Superbike champion Toprak Razgatlioglu will debut in MotoGP in 2026 with the Prima Pramac Racing team, now a Yamaha satellite squad, after winning WorldSBK titles with Yamaha in 2021 and BMW in 2024. Yamaha announced Razgatlioglu's transfer earlier than expected, citing his record 63 WorldSBK victories and his importance to their MotoGP strategy. The move is described as a homecoming and is expected to impact Pramac's current riders, Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira, though Yamaha has not confirmed its full 2026 roster. Razgatlioglu's decision rules out a rumored switch to Honda for 2027, closing that opportunity. His arrival is seen as a significant shift in both the rider market and strategy across World Superbike and MotoGP paddocks. The high-profile transition reflects a broader trend of top Superbike talent moving into MotoGP.
