The announcement of Toprak Razgatlıoğlu's arrival in MotoGP with the Pramac Yamaha team for the 2026 season has shaken up the world championship scene. This highly anticipated move forces Yamaha to make a difficult choice: one of these riders will have to leave at the end of the current season. We invite you to decide: who Miguel Oliveira, Jack Miller or factory riders, would you see the Turk giving up his place, given the situation at Yamaha as the summer break approaches?
To do this, Paddock GP offers you propose to vote via the poll that can be found in the article. Before that, a brief reminder of the situation is necessary!
The transfer, of Toprak Razgatlioglu, formalized recently signed by Yamaha, places Iwata's satellite team, Pramac Racing, before a major decision regarding its line-up for next year. Currently, Pramac is fielding Jack Miller, whose contract expires at the end of the season, and Miguel Oliveira, under contract for 2026, whose situation remains unclear..
Indeed, the Portuguese's career has been greatly impacted by repeated injuries in recent years, which does not meet the specifications of the Japanese brand, which is working hard on developing its M1 in an attempt to move up the hierarchy.
Heading into the Italian GP, Miguel Oliveira has only scored three points, compared to 31 for his garage neighbor, Jack Miller. The Australian is tied on points with Alex Rins, a factory rider from the same entity.
This announcement therefore rekindles the dynamics of the driver market, as several contracts expire at the end of 2025 and teams must anticipate upcoming technical developments, particularly with the arrival of the V4 engine at Yamaha. For Pramac, the challenge is to choose the ideal profile to accompany its new recruit. Who do you think will leave their place to Toprak Razgatlıoğlu in MotoGP?
