Jack Miller is still waiting to find out whether he will be on the MotoGP grid in 2026, as the time on his current Pramac deal runs down.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old has been Yamaha\u2019s<\/a> second-most impressive rider this season, behind the talented Fabio Quartararo.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no telling where Pramac<\/a> would be without his contributions, even if he could have maximised his returns even more.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s still hard to tell what fate awaits Miller<\/a>, but he has been giving his all for his team this season. Sitting 14th in the MotoGP<\/a> standings on the M1 bike is a solid baseline.<\/p>\n

Currently, Pramac \u2018can\u2019t\u2019 decide whether to keep Miller<\/a> because the deadline to make the call on his future has not passed yet.<\/p>\n

It was even suggested that Miller could partner Jake Dixon in World Superbikes<\/a> as Honda eye a strong line-up for next season.<\/p>\n

\"PramacPhoto by MICHAL CIZEK\/AFP via Getty ImagesJack Miller\u2019s Yamaha invitation for the Suzuka 8 Hour is a \u2018very positive\u2019 sign for 2026 MotoGP hopes<\/p>\n

Miller had to \u2018learn to ride\u2019 his Pramac again<\/a> after suffering an engine braking issue in the final race before the summer break at Brno.<\/p>\n

On a few occasions this season, he has faced reliability issues and difficulties with his bike, which have prevented him from going faster or finishing a race.<\/p>\n

Now, Peter Bom has spotted one omen which he thinks is a \u2018very positive\u2019 sign for his MotoGP future beyond 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, Yamaha obviously asked him to do that [Suzuka 8 Hours],\u201d he said. \u201cAlthough he still hasn\u2019t got a ride for next year, to me, that\u2019s a very positive point. If Yamaha ask you to do the Suzuka 8 Hour, or any factory asks you to do the Suzuka 8 Hour, that\u2019s a big deal. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat means they really like you. Because that race, winning the Suzuka 8 Hour is the next most important thing for the Japanese manufacturers at least, to winning the MotoGP title. <\/p>\n

\u201cWinning the Suzuka 8 Hour means more to a Japanese manufacturer than winning the World Superbike title, way more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why Jack Miller has earned his MotoGP ride for 2026<\/p>\n

Apart from his experience, which is incredibly useful, Miller brings many other assets to Pramac which are desirable for them to have.<\/p>\n

Yamaha benefit from his feedback too, as well as his solid working relationship with Fabio Quartararo, who seems to like having him around.<\/p>\n

Miller\u2019s contract decision is \u2018complex\u2019<\/a> and a public announcement may only arrive after the summer break.<\/p>\n

Both Yamaha and Pramac need to decide whether they would like to go with an exciting Moto2 talent for the future, of which there are a couple, or bank on the experience of Miller for the time being.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jack Miller is still waiting to find out whether he will be on the MotoGP grid in 2026,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29025,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,3555,806,805,803,804,3560,85,3561],"class_list":["post-29024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-jack-miller","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-pramac-racing","tag-sports","tag-yamaha"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29024\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
