Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP arrives in Goiânia for Round 2 of the 2026 MotoGP World Championship, as the series returns to Brazil after 22 years and to the Autódromo Internacional Ayrton Senna for the first time since 1989. The circuit previously hosted the Brazilian Grand Prix from 1987 to 1989, has since undergone extensive modernisation ahead of its return to the calendar, with a completely reconstructed and resurfaced 3.84 km layout featuring nine right-hand corners and five left-handers, alongside fully upgraded safety features in line with current FIM and FIA standards and is now ready to welcome back the MotoGP paddock, marking a significant moment for the Championship and for Brazilian motorsport fans.

For Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP, the weekend represents another important step in an ongoing process of development and understanding of the new package. With the circuit being new to all riders in the current field, the team approaches the event with a sense of curiosity and opportunity, aiming to maximise track time and continue building its knowledge base in conditions that are the same for everyone. Jack Miller and Toprak Razgatlıoğlu are both eager to get on track and discover the characteristics of the Goiânia circuit, while continuing the work carried out during the opening round. For Toprak in particular, it will be another chance to expand his experience on a MotoGP machine at an unfamiliar venue, while Jack will look to use his experience to help guide the ongoing development.

Weather conditions could add a further layer of complexity to the weekend, with rain forecast across all three days. Mixed conditions may play a key role in shaping track action, making adaptability and clear feedback even more crucial as the team continues its progression.

It’s definitely an interesting weekend for us, first of all because we are very happy to see MotoGP return to Brazil after such a long time. It’s an important moment for the Championship and for everyone involved.

From a technical point of view, it’s also a unique opportunity. This is a circuit that none of the manufacturers have recent experience with, so in many ways we are all starting from the same baseline. That could give us the chance to be more competitive than we were in Thailand.

If we can find a good direction with the set-up from the very first day, we believe we can make a step forward. As always, we approach the weekend with a positive mindset and a strong determination to keep working and improving.

For the riders as well it will be a completely new challenge, as they will need to learn the track and understand all its characteristics as quickly as possible.

I’m really motivated to get back on track and continue the work we started. It’s a new circuit for everyone, which makes it interesting because it gives us all a bit of a reset. We’ve done as much homework as we can over the past weeks, but until you actually ride the track, you never really know what to expect.

The key will be to take it step by step, focus on the set-up and keep building our understanding of the bike. We also know tyre management is going to be important, especially after what we saw in the last race, so that’s definitely something we’ll be keeping a close eye on throughout the weekend.

I’m really looking forward to this weekend because it’s a completely new track, and for the first time this season everyone has to learn it from zero. That’s something positive for me, because in the previous races I was also dealing with circuits I didn’t know in MotoGP.

My focus is on improving my riding and feeling with the bike, corner by corner, lap by lap. Every time I go out I understand a bit more, and this is the most important thing right now. I just want to stay focused, keep learning and make another step forward together with the team.
