Jack Miller has delivered a blunt message to Yamaha ahead of the Hungarian GP, warning that unless a contract offer arrives in the very near future, he will turn his attention to other opportunities.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been more than patient enough. If you want me, you want me, if you don\u2019t, you don\u2019t. It\u2019s as clear as that,\u201d Miller said in a fiery media scrum on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Miller\u2019s seat at Yamaha is under threat, with his current contract up at the end of the season. Pramac Yamaha have already secured the services of two-time WorldSBK Champion Toprak Razgatlioglu for 2026, while teammate Miguel Oliveira has a contract that extends beyond the current campaign. That leaves Miller in a precarious position, despite flashes of form in 2025 that have made him the second-best placed Yamaha rider in the standings, albeit down in 17th overall.<\/p>\n
The Australian admitted that the uncertainty has dragged on too long, and while he\u2019s keen to continue contributing to Yamaha\u2019s MotoGP project, his patience is wearing thin.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour guess is as good as mine at the moment, in terms of what their strategy is and what they plan on doing. I have options, and I\u2019m going to move forward with those options if it doesn\u2019t come quickly.”<\/p>\n
Miller didn\u2019t quite reveal the specifics of his deadline to the media, but he did make his stance crystal clear: \u201cI have one in my mind but I\u2019m not telling you guys. I\u2019ve been more than patient enough. If you want me, you want me, if you don\u2019t, you don\u2019t. It\u2019s as clear as that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Miller also underlined the value he believes he brings to Yamaha\u2019s project: \u201cI was looking forward to developing and moving forward with them to try and help them. I feel like I have a lot of information to give, a lot of input to give, and can help in a project like that. If they cannot see the value in that, well then I understand and I will move on to something different.\u201d<\/p>\n
As always, the rider market will continue to evolve in the coming days, and we expect to hear more on this one through the coming days at the Hungarian GP.<\/p>\n
