First team presentations of the year are always a statement, but Prima Pramac Yamaha took it a step further by revealing their 2026 liveries in Siena, Italy. Set inside the Accademia Musicale Chigiana near the famous Piazza del Campo, the Tuscan launch brought together riders, team bosses, and Yamaha representatives to pull the covers off the new machines.
The spotlight sits squarely on a fascinating garage pairing. Veteran Australian Jack Miller returns as a core pillar of the project, bringing his hard-earned championship knowledge and familiarity with V-engine bikes straight into bike development. Alongside him is none other than three-time World Superbike Champion Toprak Razgatlıoğlu, who makes his much-anticipated premier class debut as the first Turkish rider in MotoGP.
My main objective this season is development: adapting to MotoGP, understanding the bike and the level of competition, and building consistency race by race,
This season carries massive historical weight for the squad, marking 25 years of competition in the MotoGP World Championship alongside 60 years of Pramac. As they enter the second year of their technical partnership with Yamaha, the team operates as Yamaha's second Factory Team with a clear objective: pushing this ambitious project back to the front of the field. Stability anchors the operation, with the management structure intact and Prima Assicurazioni returning as title sponsor alongside the BluCru Pramac Yamaha Moto2 squad.
"Now with the V4 as our race bike for the season, it feels like a fresh chapter," Jack Miller said, noting the value of returning to a familiar crew after a learning year of adapting to Yamaha. Meanwhile, Razgatlıoğlu approaches his rookie campaign with a measured, developmental mindset after positive initial tests aboard the new YZR-M1 V4. "My main objective this season is development: adapting to MotoGP, understanding the bike and the level of competition, and building consistency race by race," Razgatlıoğlu stated.
Team Principal Paolo Campinoti highlighted the milestone anniversary and welcomed his new star signing, while Yamaha Motor Racing Managing Director Paolo Pavesio emphasized that the factory-backed partnership is fully focused on growth, performance, and technical innovation. Team Director Gino Borsoi echoed those sentiments, pointing out that Yamaha's bold step forward with a completely new project brings an exciting phase of adaptability for everyone involved as they chase success together.
