It was another tough race for Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP at the Circuit of the Americas, as Toprak Razgatlıoğlu and Jack Miller — starting from 17th and 19th positions respectively — spent the race battling within a close group that included the other Yamaha riders.

Despite running toward the back of the field, both riders remained competitive within their group and, importantly, were able to complete the full race distance. This represents a small but meaningful step forward for both the riders and the development of the Yamaha YZR-M1.

The main positive of the day came from Toprak Razgatlıoğlu, who scored the first point of his MotoGP career. While the Turkish rider is clearly aiming for much stronger results, the achievement offers a degree of encouragement after a challenging start to the season and reflects an improving feeling with the bike.

Jack Miller also battled throughout the race and, in the closing laps, was able to make a move to gain another position, eventually crossing the finish line just behind his teammate.

Although the overall result does not yet match the team’s ambitions, the race provided further valuable data and confirmed incremental progress as the development work continues.

Overall, it was a positive day. Of course, our ambitions are higher than this, but we all needed a bit of a morale boost and we’re very happy for Toprak to have scored the first of what we hope will be many MotoGP points in his career.

Jack also delivered a solid performance, and from the halfway point of the race both riders showed they had the pace to stay close to the top ten. That’s an important indication for us.

This is our starting point, and it’s from here that we need to continue building. We know it won’t be easy, but we’ve already reduced the gap significantly compared to the first races. Now we have to keep our heads down, continue working, and bring the team and our riders closer to where they belong.

Today was a very tough race for everyone, but I was pushing more than 100% because I really wanted to score my first point. In the end, I achieved it, and I’m very happy.

Another positive is that I’m starting to enjoy riding the bike more during the race, and I’m learning a lot. I followed Fabio for several laps and was able to understand more about his riding style and the track, which is very important for me at this stage.

Race by race, weekend by weekend, we are improving, and that makes me happy. Of course, this is just the beginning — now the goal is to keep learning and start fighting for better results.

We now have a few weeks before the next race, so I will continue training and come back ready to keep working, starting from Spain.

Overall, we made some steps forward over the weekend, and I’m quite happy with the general set-up of the bike. There are still some areas, especially in the DNA of the bike, that we need to keep working on and refining, but for now we’re doing the best we can with what we have.

The important thing is that we’re starting to understand the bike better and build a clearer direction for the future. We know there’s still work to do, but we’re staying focused and continuing to push the project forward.

Now I’m looking forward to getting back to Europe — having races closer together should help us keep the momentum, bring some updates, and continue developing in the right direction.
