Pramac Yamaha Keeps Jack Miller for 2026, Oliveira to Leave After 2025

Yamaha says Miller’s V4 background fits its 2026 M1 development plan.

Overview

  • Official confirmation pairs Miller with incoming Toprak Razgatlioglu at Pramac for 2026 after weeks of final negotiations.
  • Yamaha highlights Miller’s experience on Honda, Ducati and KTM V4s as it readies a new V4 prototype for 2026 and an 850cc machine for 2027.
  • Miguel Oliveira departs under a mid‑season performance clause in his 1+1 deal, with his 2025 campaign disrupted by a shoulder injury from the Argentina round.
  • Oliveira says the decision "came as a little bit of a surprise," noting he was informed before Balaton and that missed races and Yamaha’s form hindered his targets.
  • Yamaha weighed a second rookie for Pramac, holding talks with Moto2 talents including Diogo Moreira—who chose LCR Honda—and Manuel Gonzalez, as Oliveira now considers MotoGP test roles or a WorldSBK move.
