Yamaha has finally broken its silence. Ahead of the Aragon Grand Prix, the Japanese manufacturer officially confirmed that Jack Miller will leave MotoGP at the end of the current season. This decision paves the way for the Australian rider to continue his career in World Superbike (WorldSBK) with Yamaha.
The news had been circulating for weeks, as the rider market for 2027 heated up. Miller, who was a savior when he joined Pramac in 2025, now faces an uncertain future. Despite a strong debut and his role in developing Yamaha's new V4 engine, 2026 has been a tougher year for him.
In an official statement released on Thursday (August 27, 2026), Miller expressed his gratitude to Yamaha and Pramac. “I still believe I have more to offer and more to achieve, and I'll take that motivation with me into whatever comes next,” he said. He also emphasized his focus on finishing the season strongly with the team.
Yamaha's Managing Director, Paolo Pavesio, paid tribute to Miller, calling him a valuable asset both on and off the track. “The energy he brought to the team was incredible. His positive attitude, team spirit, and ability to build strong relationships made him a pleasure to work with,” Pavesio said.
Miller is expected to be replaced at Pramac by Izan Guevara, a rising star in Moto2. Meanwhile, Toprak Razgatlioglu is reportedly staying in WorldSBK for 2027, making the factory Yamaha seat a realistic target for Miller.
On the other side, major changes are also underway at the factory Yamaha MotoGP team. Jorge Martin and Ai Ogura will replace Fabio Quartararo and Alex Rins, who are reportedly heading to Honda. This marks a major transition for Yamaha as they rebuild their strength in the premier class.
For Miller, a move to WorldSBK is not a step backward. With his experience and racing pedigree in MotoGP, he could become a serious threat to his rivals in the superbike championship. Moreover, he already knows the Yamaha package well.
One thing is certain: Miller's MotoGP adventure has ended, but his racing story is far from over. The motorsport world will be watching to see where he lands and whether he can replicate the success of other MotoGP riders who have made the switch to WorldSBK.
