Blending in with the timeless beauty of Siena’s historic center, Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP will launch its 2026 MotoGP campaign at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana on the steps of the famous Piazza del Campo.
In the year Founded in 1923 and one of the most famous music institutions in the world, the Accademia Musicale Chigiana is located in a magnificent historic building in the heart of the city. A place where tradition, excellence and innovation meet provides the ideal backdrop to unveil the team’s new season.
Siena’s choice is deeply symbolic. Long-term vision and commitment reflect Pramak’s heritage, which has played a major role in the development of the competition project. In the year In 2026, two milestones will be celebrated: 25 years of competition in the MotoGP World Championship and 60 years of Pramac, Siena has made a meaningful event to celebrate these anniversaries.
The first period of technical partnership with Yamaha is the opening phase of a long-term project and lays an important foundation for future development. As Yamaha’s second factory team, Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP has begun a learning curve that will continue until 2026.
The common goal is clear: to actively contribute to bringing this great project to where it belongs – in front of the field.
The 2026 season will be the MotoGP debut of three-time World Superbike Champion Torak Razgatlioglu, who will be the first Turkish rider to compete in the premier class. Known for his impressive and instinctive riding style, his transition to MotoGP will be one of the highlights of the season.
With him, Jack Miller again represents the key pillar of the project. The experienced Australian brings valuable knowledge of the championship and will play an important role in the bike’s development and race performance.
Composure continues to be one of the team’s strengths. The management structure has been confirmed for 2026, with a team that has worked together for years and continues to work with coordination, efficiency and common ambition.
A winning partnership remains unchanged at the heart of the project. Prima Assurazioni will be the Prama Pramac Yamaha MotoGP title sponsor for the 2026 season, continuing to support the team and its long-term project with Yamaha.
Paolo Campinotti – Team Principal, Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP:
The 2026 season is a special milestone for us as we celebrate 25 years in the MotoGP World Championship. These years have been full of emotions, challenges and growth, and have shaped the strong and determined team we are today.
“We are fully focused on continuing the growth required by this major partnership with Yamaha. Now in its second year, this project brings new challenges that we look forward to meeting with the commitment, experience and full strength of our team.”
“I would like to thank Prima Assurazioni for their continued trust and support, which gives us stability and confidence as we build for the future.
“I am delighted to welcome Torak Razgatlioğlu to the team and to see his talent and amazing riding style in the Prima Pramac colours. I would like to thank Jack Miller for being with us again – his experience and contribution are fundamental to our mission.
GINO BORSOI – Team Director Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP:
“The second year of our collaboration with Yamaha is extremely important, especially since it brings a big change in their technical philosophy. Yamaha has taken a bold step forward with a completely new project, and their full support is helping us to adapt quickly and efficiently to this new bike.
The 2026 season represents a new beginning in many ways. While we welcome back Jack Miller, the new bike and the arrival of Torak Razgatlioglu bring new challenges and a natural learning curve for all involved – an exciting phase where adaptation is key.
We strongly believe in equestrian alignment. Jack’s experience, including his experience with V-motor bikes, will be invaluable in development, while Toprak will give him the time he needs to learn a new bike, new tires and a new championship. His talent is unique and we knew he could surprise us right from the start.
There is a strong commitment within the team to help Yamaha get back on track. With their commitment, our structure and the talent of our riders, we are confident that we can grow together and truly ‘express your heart’.
Jack Miller – Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP Rider:
“It feels good to start the new season with the same team. To continue in this paddock and to come back to the garage knowing the people, the work culture and direction will make a big difference.
“Last year with Yamaha was a real learning year for me. We had some strong moments, we worked through a few tough ones but in the end we built a strong foundation together. I really enjoyed the challenge of adapting and figuring things out as the season went on.
“Now that the V4 is our race bike for the season, it feels like a new chapter. It’s a fun project to be a part of and there’s a real sense of belief behind it. I’m proud to continue with Prima Pramac Yamaha and look forward to seeing where we take this.”
TOPRAK RAZGATLIOGLU – Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP rider:
“Today is a very special moment for me to join the Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP family. The team’s history and strong partnership with Yamaha played a key role in my decision. This is a new chapter in my career, and I want to approach it with a long-term development mindset from the very beginning.
The first tests with the new YZR-M1 V4 are positive, especially in acceleration and cornering. Of course, this is just the beginning – performance in MotoGP comes from continuous work, data sharing and step-by-step improvement, and that’s our focus right now.
My main goal for this season is development: adapting to MotoGP, understanding the bike and the level of competition and building a consistent race in races. The results are important, but at this stage the process is the priority.
I have found a very strong and motivated team here, and I am grateful to Prima Pramak Yamaha and Yamaha for their trust and support. I will give it my best, and I believe that with patience, determination and teamwork, we are moving in the right direction.
