Pramac Racing is poised to reveal its rider choices for the 2026 MotoGP season within the week, with team principal Gino Borsoi confirming that a final decision is imminent. The upcoming announcement has drawn intense attention, particularly given the uncertainty surrounding fan favorite Jack Miller’s position on the team.
After making headlines by signing double World Superbike champion Toprak Razgatlioglu for next year, Pramac’s rider market movements remain a hot topic. While Razgatlioglu’s addition is secured, the question of who will join him on the grid continues to fuel rumors involving Miguel Oliveira, Diogo Moreira, and Manuel Gonzalez.
Unfolding Developments Impacting Teammate Selection
Miguel Oliveira, who is under contract for 2026, now appears less likely to stay with Pramac, leaving a vacancy that had many expecting Miller to fill. However, stalled negotiations between Miller and Yamaha have added complexity, opening the door for Moto2 star Diogo Moreira to receive an offer from Yamaha’s factory team. Reports from Spain suggest Moreira may have already committed to Honda’s LCR team, compounding uncertainty in Pramac’s formation.
Miller, who has expressed frustration over the prolonged discussions, is reportedly considering shifting to World Superbikes should his Yamaha deal fail to materialize. Yet, contrasting whispers within the paddock hint that Miller could ultimately retain his place on Pramac’s 2026 roster.
Team Principal Borsoi Speaks on the Difficult Decision Ahead
On the eve of the Hungarian Grand Prix, Gino Borsoi addressed the media about the complexities influencing the team’s rider decisions. He acknowledged the challenges by stating,
“As you can imagine, it’s not easy,”
—Gino Borsoi, Team Principal.
Borsoi continued,
“We had a couple of meetings. We are, let’s say, in a difficult situation because we really need to know what is good for the project, and also in terms of the future we need to think about that.”
He added,
“So, we need a couple of days to finalize everything. The deadline was already one month ago. We moved it back because it’s a difficult decision. But in my opinion, in just a few days and next week we will know who the rider will be.”
—Gino Borsoi, Team Principal.
Implications for Pramac and the MotoGP Championship Landscape
As the decision deadline draws near, the outcome could substantially alter Pramac’s strategy and affect the broader championship dynamics. Retaining Miller might provide continuity for the team, while introducing fresh talent could signal a new direction for 2026. This situation has captivated fans and commentators alike, who await confirmation that may redefine the team’s future performance.
