Queenslander Jack Miller has been extended by Prima Pramac Yamaha through the 2026 MotoGP World Championship season after securing his future to remain onboard the YZR-M1 as teammate to incoming WorldSBK champion Toprak Razgatlioglu.

The 30-year-old’s future has been up in the air during recent months, until Yamaha confirmed that he will be retained and current teammate Miguel Oliveira will depart.

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

Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP team principal Paolo Campinoti added: “It’s no secret that I have great affection for Jack, a rider who experienced an important stage of his career growth with Pramac Racing and whose return this season was welcomed with great joy by everyone in the team.

“Beyond the human side, Jack’s contribution has been crucial in supporting Yamaha with the development of the YZR-M1. His confirmation as official Yamaha rider with Prima Pramac Yamaha for 2026 is important and precious.

“Managing a team sometimes requires difficult choices, and in this regard, I want to sincerely thank Miguel for the commitment and professionalism he has shown in these months, as well as the ease with which he integrated into our team. It was a pleasure having him on board and discovering not only a great professional but also a great person.”

Returning this year to defend the Pramac Racing colours, after the 2018–2020 seasons, Miller in his debut year on the Yamaha has contributed to the development work of the factory M1, achieving a best result of fifth place at the Grand Prix of the Americas in Austin.

During the MotoGP summer break, he also made an important contribution to the Factory Yamaha Racing Team’s second place in the Suzuka 8 Hours round of the Endurance World Championship (EWC) onboard a works YZF-R1.
