the British rider reportedly already signed by the Japanese factory<\/a>.<\/p>\nBut Honda might not be the only option for Miller in WorldSBK.<\/p>\n
According to World Superbike international TV feed commentator Steve English, writing on WorldSBK.com, Miller is under consideration for a ride in the production derivative series by numerous factories.<\/p>\n
“Jack Miller is at the top of the shopping list for multiple manufacturers in WorldSBK,” he wrote.<\/p>\n
“He is, however, holding out to stay on the MotoGP grid. With the promise of a Yamaha V4 on the horizon, it\u2019s understandable that he is looking for one last shot in the prototype class.”<\/p>\n
But Miller will have Plan B options in WorldSBK.<\/p>\n
With Bimota locked up, having re-signed Alex Lowes and Axel Bassani for 2026, and with Kawasaki sticking with one bike at Puccetti for Garrett Gerloff next year, that leaves three potential options for Miller, outside of Honda.<\/p>\n
One would be the factory Yamaha team, should he wish to stay in blue but outside of MotoGP; another would be BMW if it cannot sign Aron Canet, who appears to be the Bavarian brand\u2019s primary target, or if it parts with Michael van der Mark; and finally Ducati, where he could, theoretically, replace Alvaro Bautista.<\/p>\n
At Ducati, reports suggest that they could take Canet from under BMW\u2019s nose. The sticking point for Canet and the German factory is reported to be the inability of BMW to offer a contract longer than one year, because Munich board is yet to commit to WorldSBK beyond 2026.<\/p>\n
Taking Canet would close the door there for Miller, if it were ever open, but would clear the path to BMW, even if van der Mark is retained.<\/p>\n
Miller is perhaps the rider with, at the moment, the highest multitude of options for 2026 and the one with the most variety in his potential career path beyond 2025. Multiple WorldSBK factories, and two potential destinations \u2013 albeit in the same manufacturer \u2013 in MotoGP. Time will tell.<\/p>\n
