Pramac Racing is a motorcycle racing team currently competing in the MotoGP World Championship. The team was created in 2002 by Italian company Pramac. In 2005 Pramac Racing joined forces with d'Antin MotoGP to form Pramac d'Antin and in 2007 the team became part of the Pramac Group. After d'Antin left the team in 2008, the team became known as Pramac Racing. 8/10/2017: Pramac Racing announces Australian Jack Miller to pilot one of their two 2018 Moto GP premiere class entries. Miller should suit this team and bike well, as his clever way of extracting speed will soon be put to the test.
The d'Antin MotoGP Team was set up in 1999 by Spanish former motorcycle racer Luis d'Antin and was based in Madrid. Beginning in 1999 the team raced in the 250 cc Spanish and World Championships with Yamaha bikes and Spanish riders Fonsi Nieto and David García. In the same season the team ran in the 500 cc class with Japanese rider Norifumi Abe aboard a Yamaha YZR500. Abe took a win in 2000 at the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka. José Luis Cardoso joined the team in 2001 as second rider alongside Abe. A podium finish was the team's best result.
