Overview

• Pramac Yamaha formally confirmed Miller’s extension ahead of the Catalan Grand Prix, finalizing its 2026 line-up with incoming WorldSBK champion Toprak Razgatlioglu.
• Miguel Oliveira will leave at season’s end after a midseason performance clause in his 1+1 deal was not met, with both Yamaha and Pramac noting his early shoulder injury in Argentina and missed rounds.
• Yamaha had weighed a second rookie for 2026, but Diogo Moreira chose LCR Honda and Manuel Gonzalez is set to remain in Moto2, clearing the way for Miller’s retention.
• Miller’s multi-brand V4 experience was cited as key as Yamaha prepares its V4 M1, with a Misano wildcard for test rider Augusto Fernandez and post-race testing to advance development.
• Oliveira said the call “came as a little bit of a surprise” and is considering a MotoGP test role or a WorldSBK switch, with talks ongoing and no decision yet.
