Pramac Racing just stole the show by unveiling their 2026 livery first, setting the tone for what’s shaping up to be an exciting pre-season. The Italian squad, Yamaha’s satellite partner, revealed a slick updated version of their blue-and-purple design at a special event in Siena, Italy, streamed live for fans worldwide. It’s the same vibe they rocked in 2025 after switching from Ducati to Yamaha, but with tweaks that scream fresh ambition.
Pramac Becomes First Team To Reveal 2026 MotoGP Livery
The atmosphere at Accademia Musicale Chigiana was buzzing, with star riders Toprak Razgatlioglu and Jack Miller on hand to showcase the new colours on the 2026-spec Yamaha M1. Razgatlioglu, the three-time World Superbike champ making his MotoGP rookie debut, will sport number 7; his preferred 54 is already claimed by Gresini’s Fermin Aldeguer.
As a newcomer, he’ll hit the track early for the shakedown test at Sepang International Circuit from January 29-31, joined by Yamaha test rider Augusto Fernandez. Miller, who edged out Miguel Oliveira for the second seat, waits for the main test on February 3-5.
This reveal marks a huge pivot for Pramac. After dominating under Ducati, snagging the teams’ title in 2023 and powering Jorge Martin to the riders’ crown in 2024, their 2025 Yamaha switch was a tough pill to swallow. Paired with Oliveira and Miller, they scraped just 125 points, landing dead last, 40 behind LCR Honda.
Yamaha’s factory team fared better at sixth with 269 points, mostly thanks to Fabio Quartararo. But hope springs eternal: 2026 brings Yamaha’s game-changer, a V4-powered M1 ditching the old inline-four setup. Pramac gets first dibs on this beast, while Yamaha’s factory unveiling hits Jakarta on January 21.
The livery drop isn’t just paint, it’s a statement. Pramac, backed by Renault’s Alpine branding, aims to reignite its fire. With Razgatlioglu’s superbike flair and Miller’s grit, plus that revamped M1, they could surprise. Fans, get ready: Sepang tests loom, and the 2026 grid looks fiercer than ever. Will Pramac bounce back? Only the laps will tell. Stay tuned as more teams roll out their machines; Mexico’s next weekend might feel far, but MotoGP’s heating up now.
