Toprak Razgatlioglu to Join Pramac Yamaha for MotoGP 2026
Toprak Razgatlioglu, a champion motorcycle racer, is moving from the WSBK series to MotoGP.
He'll be riding for the Pramac Yamaha team in 2026.
His contract is for one year, meaning he can decide if he wants to stay after that.
Razgatlioglu has won championships before, first with Yamaha and later with BMW.
Yamaha is happy to have him back, seeing it as a new opportunity for growth.
However, this also means a current Pramac rider will lose their place.
Yamaha says Toprak's determination fits perfectly with their plans.
Toprak Razgatlioglu, WSBK champion, will race for Pramac Yamaha in MotoGP 2026.
The contract with Pramac Yamaha is for one year, with a potential extension.
Razgatlioglu won WSBK titles with Yamaha (2021) and BMW (2024).
Yamaha welcomed Toprak, highlighting his achievements in Superbike.
Current Pramac riders will have to make way for the Turkish rider, with Miller likely to be replaced.
