Miller secures MotoGP future

Australia’s Jack Miller will remain in MotoGP, having signed an extension with Pramac Yamaha for 2026.

There was mounting speculation surrounding Miller’s future in the premier class as he was on a one-year deal with the satellite squad.

Not racing for a factory team for the first time in five seasons, the Aussie has had a character-building season, sitting 17th in the championship.

However, rides such as his fifth at COTA and seventh at Silverstone prove he still has it.

Miller will be joined by MotoGP debutant and two-time Superbike World Champion, Toprak Razgatlioğlu.

Miller is delighted to stay in MotoGP, ensuring home fans will have at least two more years to enjoy his work at Phillip Island including this year’s Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix in October.

“I’m really happy and excited to stay with Yamaha and the Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP Team,” he said. 

“This year has been an amazing return to Pramac Racing. I’m looking forward to working hard with Yamaha to help developing the bike and closing the gap to the other manufacturers. 

“I believe the best is still to come. Most of all, I want to say a massive thank you to Yamaha, Pramac Racing, and to the two Paolos, Pavesio and Campinoti, for their continuous trust in my contribution to the project.

“At the same time, the Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP Team has thanked Miguel Oliveira for having been part of the team in this very important debut year with Yamaha, wishing him the best of luck and much success in the future challenges ahead.

“From the beginning, Oliveira has demonstrated great professionalism and a strong team spirit, working intensively on the development of the Yamaha YZR-M1, despite the difficulties caused by the injury sustained in Argentina, which forced him to miss four Grands Prix and affected his work.”

Miller holds a special place at Pramac Racing given he took nine podiums when the satellite squad was with Ducati from 2018-2020.

“I’m very pleased that Jack will continue with us next season,” Gino Borsoi, Team Director, Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP said. 

“After so many months together, we know each other better, we’ve understood what he needs, and I’m convinced that we can keep making progress. 

“Two years is the right amount of time to fine-tune all the gears and we are already working to prepare for 2026 in the best possible way. 

“At the same time, I want to thank Miguel for the great work he has done throughout the season. I’m truly sorry that the injury he suffered at the start of the championship didn’t give him the chance to show the great talent he has. 

“However, I hope that, with the development work we are continuing to carry out, he will be able to achieve results in the final races that reflect his true value.”

The Catalan Grand Prix takes place this weekend with practice kicking off tonight.
