Pramac Yamaha's Jack Miller said the timing of teammate Toprak Razgatlioglu's rookie MotoGP season was 'unfortunate.' Yamaha only switched to a V4 engine for 2026 after 20-plus years with its old design and has not won since 2022. 'His rookie year has been developing this bike, so that makes things tough,' Miller acknowledged of the WorldSBK star's premier-class transition.

Miller's dead right — this is a cruel bit of timing. From someone who's been trackside, a rookie learning tires and tracks while raising a brand-new V4 is carrying two or three sets of homework at once. No doubt about Toprak's talent. But a first year on a bike that hasn't won since 2022 is brutal, whoever's riding.

Miller's in the same boat — don't talk like it's someone else's problem.

A rookie in year one of the V4 switch — that's rough.
