He has to make a choice between those. The key factor of what he chooses is going to be how long the contract is. And I asked him about that post-race. And he basically confirmed that. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe admitted to it even after initially saying, \u2018I\u2019m not going to talk about next year, I haven\u2019t thought about it at all.\u2019 Yamaha has extended for two weeks because they\u2019ve given him the chance to think. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason that we\u2019ve got to this position where something\u2019s not been announced when we thought it was going to be announced is because Yamaha didn\u2019t think he\u2019d have another offer on the table. They thought that this would all be done and dusted. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019d know one way or another right now whether he was staying in Moto2 or coming to them, and then the spanner of the LCR offer came in the works because they\u2019ve found a way to replace Somkiat Chandra.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The news serves as a bit of a lifeline for Miller. If the factory Yamaha team end up staying loyal to Rins, the Australian still has a chance of staying on the grid next season with Pramac. Of course, that is also dependent on Moreira opting to accept the Honda offer over Yamaha.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.motogpnews.com\/2025\/01\/31\/who-is-jack-miller-life-outside-motogp-career-stats-praise-race-number-net-worth-wife\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Everything to know about Jack Miller from net worth to wife<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motogpnews.com\/2025\/08\/14\/jack-miller-reveals-what-hes-said-to-yamaha-in-motogp-talks-as-he-changes-his-tune-on-his-future\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Miller declared his love for Yamaha ahead of the Austrian GP<\/a>, highlighting that he still has room to grow with the team after joining them in 2025, as well as participating in the Suzuka 8 Hours endurance race as part of the Japanese constructor\u2019s entry.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his affection for the team, Miller is currently suffering the worst single-season record of his MotoGP career in his maiden season with the Japanese manufacturer. <\/p>\n<p>RIDERTEAMFranco MorbidelliVR46Luca MariniHondaJohann ZarcoLCRSomkiat ChantraLCRJack MillerPramacMotoGP contracts expiring in 2025<\/p>\n<p>He has 46 points after 13 rounds and is currently languishing in 16th place in the riders\u2019 standings.
