What had started as an encouraging weekend for Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP at the Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit ended in disappointment, as neither Toprak Razgatlıoğlu nor Jack Miller was able to finish Sunday’s Indonesian Grand Prix. After showing improved feeling with the YZR-M1 on Friday, the team had hoped to build on that progress, with Miller continuing to make steps forward on Saturday. However, Razgatlıoğlu’s weekend took a difficult turn after a highside crash in Free Practice left him with a dislocated shoulder.
The Turkish rider lined up for Sunday’s race despite the injury, determined to give his best, but the challenge proved particularly demanding. Suffering from significant pain in his right shoulder and the surrounding area, Razgatlıoğlu was unable to continue and retired on lap eight. While his determination to race was clear, the physical discomfort ultimately made it impossible to complete the Grand Prix.
Miller’s race came to an end even earlier. The Australian had approached Sunday with hopes of fighting for a points finish, encouraged by the more competitive pace he had shown throughout the weekend. However, a crash on lap five forced him to retire, bringing a premature end to what had looked like an opportunity to build on the progress made since Friday.
The double DNF is a frustrating conclusion to a weekend that had offered encouraging signs of improvement, and leaves the team without the result it had hoped to take away from Indonesia. Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP will now focus on analysing the data collected at Mandalika and preparing for the next round in Australia, with the aim of turning the progress shown earlier in the weekend into a stronger race result.

Unfortunately, it has been another disappointing weekend. Expectations were high, especially after the way Friday started, and we were hoping to fight for points and build on the progress we had shown. Toprak’s injury certainly made things more difficult, but Jack’s crash today was also a setback we could have done without.
We know we are facing difficulties at the moment, but we have shown that we can fight for points, so we need to understand why we are not managing to turn that potential into results. We have to make a change, be more precise in our work and make sure we are doing everything possible to give both riders the opportunity to achieve the results we know are within reach.

It was pretty similar to Japan. I had a reasonably good feeling this morning, but as soon as we went out for the Sprint, the bike became almost unrideable. Something is not working as it should, whether it’s related to the fuel map or something else. The engine behaviour is inconsistent, and we need to work harder to understand why.

Today, my biggest problem was my shoulder, not the bike. Yesterday, after the Sprint, it was not feeling too bad, but when I woke up this morning, the pain was much worse and I had less movement. I took painkillers, but the main issue was the lack of strength, especially under braking. With every lap, it became more difficult to manage the bike, particularly through the right-hand corners and the changes of direction.
Before the race, I spoke with the team, and they told me that if I felt too much pain, I should come back to the box or not race. But I wanted to try. I’m not a stupid rider: if I feel it is too dangerous or I cannot continue, I will stop. Today, I gave it my best, but during the race the situation became more difficult because moving my shoulder felt very strange, almost as if it could come out of place again. I eventually had to stop because I could no longer ride the bike properly.
Tomorrow, I will return to Turkey and have an MRI as soon as possible to understand the condition of my shoulder. I hope I won’t need surgery and that some rest will be enough to recover for the next race. We will see what the doctors say, but I hope I can come back stronger next weekend.
