There has been a “major acceleration” in talks between Toprak Razgatlioglu and Pramac Yamaha for the 2026 MotoGP season, as reports state.
The Turkish rider has been linked with a move to MotoGP for years, but no switch has materialised until now.
Razgatlioglu’s contract with BMW expires at the end of 2025, with various rumored options for his future.
Despite previously testing Yamaha MotoGP bikes and leaving for BMW, reports suggest a positive relationship with Yamaha’s new Managing Director, Paolo Pavesio.
Razgatlioglu’s potential move to Yamaha comes after dismissing Honda’s offer for 2026 and 2027 MotoGP projects.
An announcement regarding Razgatlioglu’s future could happen during the Italian Grand Prix on June 20-22 as reported by Sky Italia’s MotoGP reporter Sandro Donato Grosso.
