Miguel Oliveira’s MotoGP experience and rider character have been identified as the key reasons for Yamaha to secure his signature at its new satellite squad Pramac.
The most drawn-out rider change for 2025 MotoGP was finally announced on the set-up day at the San Marino Grand Prix when Portugal’s sole representative on the grid was confirmed for Pramac Yamaha for 2025 and 2026, his fifth team and third brand in the premier class.
The 29-year-old, with five MotoGP wins to his name, has ridden KTM RC16 machinery for Tech3 and KTM and then the Aprilia RS-GP for RNF and his present Trackhouse Racing team during a six-year MotoGP stint.
