Jack Miller is still waiting for Pramac to make a decision on their 2026 MotoGP line-up as the summer break draws to a close.
The Australian rider has been the team’s most consistent performer this season, with teammate Miguel Oliveira sidelined for some time with an injury.
Pramac have been waiting for deadlines to pass before making the call on who will partner MotoGP debutant Toprak Razgatlioglu.
Considering his contributions to Yamaha, such as a second place at the Suzuka 8 Hour, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Miller is retained, but nobody quite knows who the front-runner is for the seat.
Many of the MotoGP grid ‘think’ that Razgatlioglu will win races when he joins his team, and with a new V4 bike on the way, it could be a very lucrative ride.
However, Pramac remind Miller ‘every single day’ that they are ‘angry’ with him for letting a victory slip through his grasp earlier in the season at Le Mans. Winning there might have guaranteed his place for 2026.

One of the hottest Moto2 prospects linked with a potential promotion for 2026 has been championship leader Manu Gonzalez.
He has a 25-point lead with four rounds to go, and stands a strong chance of being crowned champion at the end of the season.
Pramac were told to sign Gonzalez instead of Miller, but it would be hard to overlook the Aussie’s decade of experience in the premier class.
There are other options on the grid, but the scarcity of availability means that Gonzalez may be forced to wait for an opening.
Speaking to SPEEDWEEK, he admitted that his eyes are set on winning the Moto2 title, while the outlet also reports that he’s ‘certain’ he won’t move to Superbikes for next year. It’s another name for Miller to continue to contend with.
“The most important thing is to win the championship this year. I’m aware that there are fewer spots available in MotoGP for 2026. But contracts can always change,” he said.
“It’s often happened that something has changed despite a contract. All I can do is make sure I keep winning races.”
Why resigning Jack Miller is a good idea for Pramac in 2026
Following a strong performance at the 2025 Suzuka 8 Hour, Miller might have earned himself even more kudos back in Japan.
It’s a massive event for them, and by leading them close to victory, he will have reminded them of his talents and determination to lead them back to the top.
He works well in tandem with factory rider Fabio Quartararo, and ahead of a new set of regulations, his feedback should be able to help push them in a positive direction.
There’s no guarantee that Razgatlioglu can get used to his new bike quickly, and Pramac won’t want to have a rookie still learning the ropes as that is happening too. They need a consistent performer.
