Jack Miller<\/a>, who had World Superbike interest for 2026, says Oliveira \u201cstill has a fantastic level\u201d in MotoGP but is keen to see how he transitions next year to a new series.<\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s sad to see Miguel go,\u201d Miller said during the Indonesian Grand Prix weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a fantastic rider and still has a fantastic level. But that\u2019s the way it goes sometimes here.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe he can be ultra-competitive over there.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will be watching with a very keen eye, his transition into World Superbikes, and it will be very interesting for both him and BMW.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to seeing the combination.\u201d<\/p>\n
Oliveira had signed a two-year deal with Yamaha beginning in 2025, but failed to meet a performance threshold to gain a second season.<\/p>\n

Pramac\u2019s decision on who would partner Razgatlioglu came after the summer break, as it weighed up its options, which included Moto2 championship leader Manu Gonzalez and LCR Honda-bound Diogo Moreira.<\/p>\n
Only renewing with Pramac for next year, World Superbike options are likely to be something Miller revisits for 2027 in what is set to be a heated rider market in MotoGP.<\/p>\n
Oliveira isn\u2019t the only MotoGP face heading to World Superbikes next year, with LCR\u2019s Somkiat Chantra being moved to Honda\u2019s factory team alongside Moto2 race winner Jake Dixon.<\/p>\n
The Portuguese rider could remain attached to the MotoGP paddock next year, however, with Aprilia expressing interest in signing him as a test rider. However, this will hinge on BMW’s blessing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
