Jack Miller’s green and gold Yamaha YZR-M1.
This weekend’s Grand Prix of Australia will be the last for Miller, who will depart MotoGP at the end of 2026 to join the WorldSBK grid with Yamaha.
Following practice on Friday, a ceremony was held at Milly Corner to unveil the #43 in its new colours.
The bike features Miller’s iconic number and “Thank you, Phillip Island” around it.
“Honestly, this journey probably should have ended about 15 years ago, and somehow we’ve been able to achieve so many amazing things, all of us together,” said Miller.
“I couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you, so thank you.”
In a social media post, Miller acknowledged the special edition livery.
“Not sure how I’m supposed to keep it together this weekend, he said.
“A pretty bloody special surprise from the team with this livery for my final MotoGP race here at the Island. Honestly means the world to me.
“To have my family, my girls, my mates and all these legends around me for one last home GP is something I’ll never forget. Feeling pretty damn lucky.”
Miller will be hoping for rain come Saturday to have a shot of victory.
Aprilia and Ducati have been the manufacturers to beat, though the hopes of the Desmosedici largely rest with its champion rider Marc Marquez.
Practice at Phillip Island was a dramatic affair for Miller, who crashed after posting his fastest time in the first practice at Doohan Corner.
In the opening minutes of the second practice he crashed at Siberia.
In the end, he was 12th fastest in the second hit-out and missed the automatic berth into the second leg of qualifying.
“It was an eventful day, that‘s for sure,” said Miller.
“This morning, the feeling was pretty good from the start, although the track is bumpier than it was last year.
“I knew there were some tricky spots, but when I hit the bumps, the bike started moving around and I lost the front.
“I ended up tumbling through the gravel, and my ankles were a bit sore afterwards, but thankfully, I was able to get back out this afternoon.
“The feeling was good again, and my pace was decent on my own. The time attacks were also promising, but I‘m not completely happy with how they went.
“In the end, we missed out on the top 10, which means we‘ll have to go through Q1 tomorrow.
“I know where I could have been faster, so it‘s frustrating, but we have the pace to do better and we‘ll give it another go tomorrow.”
Free Practice 2 at Phillip Island gets underway at 10:10am AEDT followed immediately by qualifying at 10:40am AEDT.
The Tissot Sprint is scheduled for 3:00pm AEDT.
