– Jack Miller’s MotoGP exit is now final. Pramac-Yamaha announced that Izan Guevara will be Toprak Razgatlioglu’s new teammate in 2027. Since Miller has not received an offer from any other team, he must say goodbye to the premier class at the end of the season.

“Jack joined Yamaha at an important phase of our MotoGP project,” says Yamaha director Paolo Pavesio. Miller switched from KTM to Pramac-Yamaha in 2025.
“His technical understanding, openness to feedback, and tireless commitment have helped us advance in several areas,” praises Pavesio.
“He approached every challenge with professionalism and enthusiasm. The same dedication was shown in his willingness to represent Yamaha at the 8 Hours of Suzuka, in addition to his MotoGP commitments.”
Miller debuted in the 125cc class in 2011 and became Moto3 runner-up in 2014, just two points behind Alex Marquez. Honda brought the Australian directly into MotoGP. In 2016, he sensationally won in Assen with the MarcVDS team.
As a Ducati factory rider, he won three more Grands Prix. Miller stood on the premier class podium 23 times. In his twelve years in the premier class, he rode Honda, Ducati, KTM, and Yamaha.
Commenting on the fact that his exit is now official, the 31-year-old said: “It’s just a few Instagram posts, but I actually already knew. So, I mean, it is what it is. That’s how it goes sometimes.”
“We will continue and try to give our best until the end of the year, and of course negotiations are currently underway about where my future will be.”

“As I have always said, I want to keep racing. I feel there is still a lot of racing left in me. It’s not about dreaming of coming back here one day and being a MotoGP rider again.”
“I mean, I’m 31. Next year I’ll be 32. I’m a realistic person, and you know, I’ve already done over 250 of these races. So doing three or four more wouldn’t change my life.”
What Miller’s future could look like
Miller sees his future in the Superbike World Championship. Yamaha would like to continue with him. He could become Andrea Locatelli’s teammate next year.
Nicolo Canepa, director of Yamaha Europe and head of the Superbike project, recently traveled to the MotoGP race in Silverstone to convince Miller to switch to the production-based championship.
“Obviously, all spots here are full, so I’m looking towards Superbike,” confirms Miller, “and trying to get something solid there that we can be competitive with and build on.”
“If I switch there, my goal is to become the best possible Superbike rider I can be and to build a career, like having a second chapter for me there. That is, I think, the main goal.”
Miller might not be the only rider moving to the Superbike World Championship. Brad Binder is said to be in negotiations with BMW, while Franco Morbidelli is a candidate at Ducati. Alex Rins is also looking for a place in the Superbike World Championship.
