Miguel Oliveira has admitted that the current contract talks have added 'extra pressure' to him for the remainder of the season.

Despite having a contract in his back pocket for the 2026 MotoGP World Championship, there is still uncertainty surrounding Miguel Oliveira's MotoGP future.

One of the Prima Pramac Racing rides for the 2026 season will go to reigning World Superbike Champion, Toprak Razgatlioglu.

However, Oliveira and Jack Miller are currently the two names floating around as potential teammates to Razgatlioglu in the satellite Yamaha team.

Oliveira admitted ahead of the Czech Republic Grand Prix that his current contract situation has added 'extra pressure' to him.

"Since we got the news of Toprak [Razgatlioglu] coming to Pramac, I think the approach was just trying to transform that extra pressure into some speed, into some potential," Miguel Oliveira told MotoGP.com’s Gear Up preview show in Brno.

"It’s true that I had to hurry up a little bit more than what I was thinking of because of the timing and missing races because of the injury, and so on.

"I felt for sure that I put on myself a little bit more weight than what I should’ve, but I think my potential is there, and also I feel like I have a lot to give, still, to Yamaha.

"So, that’s exactly what I want to do."

Thinking about this weekend in Brno in this context, Oliveira says there is no extra pressure just because the summer break starts on Monday.

"I don’t feel an exact particular pressure because it’s Brno or because it’s the last race [before] the summer break.

"I just take every session to showcase what I can do and that’s it, really. Try to enjoy also, in the meantime, this process, which is not easy, but we’ll try."

As it stands, Oliveira is 23rd in the MotoGP World Championship with six points and a best finish of 13th place. However, his current teammate, Miller, is 16th with 46 points and a best finish of fifth place.
