Yamaha wanted to decide Pramac\u2019s 2026 rider line-up before the 2025 summer break<\/a> as the gap in action is when a release clause in Oliveira\u2019s two-year factory contract becomes active. Yamaha can release Oliveira<\/a> if the 30-year-old is their lowest-scoring rider at the end of July.<\/p>\n It would now take a miracle weekend at the Czech GP for Oliveira to avoid his release clause becoming active. The Portuguese arrived at Brno as the worst-placed Yamaha rider with just six points after 11 rounds, while Fabio Quartararo has 87, Miller has 46 and Alex Rins has 41.<\/p>\n Yet SPEEDWEEK<\/a> now notes that Yamaha have \u2018indicated\u2019 the situation influencing Pramac\u2019s 2026 rider line-up is \u2018somewhat more complex\u2019. So, Pavesio<\/a> has elected to delay his decision until after not only the Czech GP<\/a> and Austrian Grand Prix<\/a>, but also the Hungarian Grand Prix<\/a>.<\/p>\n Pavesio wants to use Miller and Oliveira\u2019s performances at Brno this weekend, the Red Bull Ring on August 15-17 and Balaton Park on August 22-24 as part of Yamaha\u2019s assessment to pick the ideal teammate for Razgatlioglu ahead of his move across to MotoGP next season.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Everything to know about Jack Miller from net worth to wife<\/a><\/p>\n The situation is also more \u2018complex\u2019 as Pramac are now open to pairing the two-time World Superbikes champion with another MotoGP rookie from the 2025 Moto2 field. Pramac can now envisage Manuel Gonzalez or Diogo Moreira<\/a> forming part of their line-up next season.<\/p>\n Yamaha will consider Pramac\u2019s position, but Pavesio will have the final say on whether they will retain Oliveira, give Miller a new contract or pursue a deal for Gonzalez or Moreira. The delay has, however, brought a flurry of suitors from the Superbike paddock to Miller\u2019s door.<\/p>\n Paolo Pavesio could offer Jack Miller a Yamaha World Superbike seat if he leaves MotoGP<\/p>\n Pavesio would happily offer Miller a spot in their World Superbikes team, but the Australian also has interest from BMW as they try to replace Razgatlioglu. Honda have made Miller an offer to move to World Superbikes<\/a>, as well, but Oliveira does not want to leave MotoGP yet.<\/p>\n Should Pavesio decide to trigger Oliveira\u2019s release clause, the five-time MotoGP Grand Prix winner will look to land a test rider role. Yamaha could give Oliveira the test rider role that Cal Crutchlow is expected to leave at the end of 2025, but another manufacturer may also move.<\/p>\n READ MORE:\u00a0Everything to know about Miguel Oliveira from net worth to wife<\/a><\/p>\n It is likely the emergence of Yamaha\u2019s interest in signing Moreira<\/a> or Gonzalez that has put a spanner in Pavesio\u2019s plans the most, rather than the results Miller and Oliveira are enjoying at Pramac. But Pavesio might have to go against Pramac if Yamaha decide to sign Gonzalez.<\/p>\n![\"MotoGP](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-2224910532-1024x683.jpg\")
