Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce that Izan Guevara will graduate to MotoGP in 2027, joining the Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP team and Yamaha’s premier-class project as part of the manufacturer’s long-term commitment to developing young talent through the Yamaha BLU CRU pathway.
The Spaniard demonstrated exceptional potential when he won the Moto3 World Championship in 2022 and has continued to impress during the 2026 Moto2 World Championship campaign, where he remains a leading contender for the title, holding second place in the standings after the British GP.
Guevara’s promotion represents another important milestone for Yamaha’s BLU CRU development programme, highlighting Yamaha’s commitment to identifying, supporting, and developing future stars from the earliest stages of their racing careers.
With MotoGP entering a new technical era in 2027, featuring 850cc machinery and a different tyre manufacturer, Yamaha believes the timing is ideal for Guevara to make the step into the premier class.
