Jack Miller has opened up about his future after confirming he will leave Pramac Yamaha at the end of this season. The Australian rider insists his main focus is a switch to WorldSBK, but he hasn't ruled out staying involved in MotoGP as a test rider.
Miller's exit from Pramac Yamaha was no surprise, with his seat going to Moto2 title contender Izan Guevara. Despite that, the 31-year-old is not ready to retire. "I've still got quite a bit of racing left in me," he said at Aragon on Thursday.
With all MotoGP seats filled for 2027, Miller admitted that WorldSBK is the most realistic option. "Obviously all the seats here are full, so looking over at Superbike," he said. He hopes to secure a competitive ride there.
The move to WorldSBK makes sense for Miller, who has impressed on the Yamaha R1 at the Suzuka 8 Hours for the past two years, finishing as runner-up both times. That experience should help him adapt quickly to superbike machinery.
However, when asked about the possibility of becoming a MotoGP test rider, Miller was open. "It's not out of the equation, that's for certain," he said. "But my goal is to become the best Superbike rider I can become."
Miller is also realistic about his age, with his 32nd birthday approaching. "I've done over 250 grands prix," he said. "Doing a few more isn't going to change my life. Going over there with full focus is the main objective."
With wildcards banned from MotoGP next year, Miller's only chance of racing in the class would be as a stand-in rider. For now, he remains calm and is enjoying the negotiation process.
