Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP Rider
"I'm really happy and excited to stay with Yamaha and the Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP Team. This year has been an amazing return to Pramac Racing. I'm looking forward to working hard with Yamaha to help developing the bike and closing the gap to the other manufacturers. I believe the best is still to come. Most of all, I want to say a massive thank you to Yamaha, Pramac Racing, and to the two Paolos, Pavesio and Campinoti, for their continuous trust in my contribution to the project."
"At the same time, this announcement comes with mixed emotions, as it also marks the upcoming departure of Miguel. Unfortunately, his season was impacted by the injury he sustained in Argentina, but his commitment to returning to the bike, his dedication to the project, and his professionalism have been exemplary. We look forward to the remaining races together and remain fully committed to supporting him throughout the rest of the MotoGP season."
