Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP Ready to Start the 2025 MotoGP World Championship in Buriram2025-03-06 16:40The countdown is on for the Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP Team as riders Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira prepare to take to the track at the Thai GP in Buriram this weekend, the first of 22 rounds in the 2025 MotoGP World Championship. Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP History repeats itself, they say, but ensuring it repeats successfully requires only one formula: hard work and belief. Just months after reaching the pinnacle of MotoGP by claiming the MotoGP Riders World Championship, Pramac Racing is embarking on a thrilling new chapter. With Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP making its official debut on the YZR-M1 bike, the team is ready to enter the arena and fight for the 2025 MotoGP World Championship. Being Yamaha‘s second Factory Team is both an honor and a responsibility for the squad led by Team Principal Paolo Campinoti. This long-term partnership with the Iwata-based manufacturer is driven by a singular ambition: to bring Prima Pramac Racing and Yamaha back to the summit of the motorcycling world. Following a successful and productive winter testing time, with continuous improvements in the official sessions at Sepang and Buriram, riders Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira are prepared to take on this new challenge under the leadership of Team Director Gino Borsoi. The upcoming Thai Grand Prix will be a particularly significant event for both riders. For Miller, it marks an emotional return to a team he previously called home from 2018 to 2020. Meanwhile, Oliveira is set to celebrate his 100th race in the premier class, a milestone achievement in his career. GINO BORSOI Team Director, Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP "The pre-season tests have already given us very positive signals regarding this new adventure with Yamaha. They have been very interesting tests that have started to give us a better understanding of what the riders need—not only for them to adapt as quickly as possible to the M1 but also to allow Yamaha to accommodate their characteristics to some extent. There is certainly still a lot of work to be done, but the first steps have been extremely positive. During the last two days of testing in Buriram, things went quite well for both Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira. What I now expect is to improve the lap times set three weeks ago but, above all, to work in a way that ensures constant progress for the bike. If these past months have been a period of absolute novelty for us at Pramac Racing, they have been the same for Yamaha, with a new collaboration that already seems to be bearing its first fruits. The commitment from both sides is immense. As I have already said, even though we are two teams that from this weekend will fiercely battle on the track, in the garage, we work as if we were one single team, with a continuous exchange of information that can only help the project grow faster. For Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP, another new element is our rider pairing. I have been very impressed with how Jack and Miguel have approached the new bike, which is already quite different – and better – from the one they first tested in Barcelona. They are two riders with different styles, as well as different approaches and attitudes. But I really like both of them for their mindset and commitment. I‘m very happy to have them on the team because, from what I have observed, both will be able to contribute significantly to the project." JACK MILLER Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP Rider "I'm very excited to start a new season and to do it in Thailand is even more exciting as we were riding in Buriram just a few weeks ago. The pre-season testing has gone well and I am looking forward to seeing the bike in a real race. I can't wait to get on the grid with all the other bikes and see where we stand. It has been a really good winter for me, every day I have felt more comfortable riding the Yamaha and being back in the Pramac Racing garage has just given me positive vibes. It's the beginning of a great new adventure for Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP, we're all very excited and I can't wait for the first red light of the championship to go off and start racing." MIGUEL OLIVEIRA Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP Rider "The start of this new season is truly exciting for me. Joining the Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP team and beginning this adventure with Yamaha represents a great opportunity and a new challenge that I am approaching with great determination. We are working hard to adapt and grow together, and I can‘t wait to get on track to keep improving race after race. Arriving in Buriram and celebrating my 100th Grand Prix in MotoGP makes this moment even more special. It‘s an important milestone that makes me look back with pride while also pushing me to give even more for the future. I‘m ready to give my all for this new season!"
