Pramac Yamaha has confirmed that Izan Guevara will join the MotoGP team for the 2027 season, replacing Jack Miller in their lineup. In this exciting calendar, Guevara will team up with Toprak Razgatlioglu, with whom he will share the responsibility of leading the team.
Guevara, a young Spanish rider of 22 years, is currently competing in the Moto2 category and is a member of Yamaha’s rider development program. His ascent to MotoGP comes after a standout fourth season in Moto2, where he is in an intense title fight with competitors like Manu Gonzales and Senna Agius. He currently occupies second place, 42.5 points behind the first position.
The rider has expressed his excitement about this opportunity, stating that reaching MotoGP has always been his dream and acknowledging the years of sacrifice and work that have brought him here. ‘I want to thank Yamaha for the trust they have placed in me. This opportunity is not only the result of my efforts but also of the support I have received from my family and the team that has helped me grow both as a rider and as a person,’ Guevara said.
His path to MotoGP has been built on previous successes, with a Moto3 title in his second season, and a notable increase in his performance after moving to the Pramac team in Moto2, where he achieved a victory in the final season race in Valencia. Currently, he has continued with an excellent performance, winning at Le Mans and finishing on the podium in other races.
Paolo Pavesio, Yamaha’s director, has commented on Guevara’s maturity and talent, noting that the new 2027 regulations represent an ideal moment for his entry into the premier class. ‘Izan’s progress is a great example of what the BLU CRU program aims to achieve with young and talented riders,’ he added.
With the announcement of Guevara, the Yamaha team for the 2027 season is now complete. In addition to Guevara and Razgatlioglu, Ai Ogura and Jorge Martin will join the Yamaha factory team from Aprilia, forming a promising lineup for the coming years in MotoGP.
