Overview

  • Autosport reports Yamaha executives met Miller and his manager at Balaton Park on Thursday and offered a renewal he accepted pending contract signature.
  • The move sets Pramac’s 2026 pairing as Miller alongside incoming rookie Toprak Razgatlioglu, with an official announcement expected in the coming days.
  • Miller’s retention is expected to trigger the performance clause in Miguel Oliveira’s 1+1 deal, putting the Portuguese rider’s Pramac seat at risk.
  • Yamaha’s choice reflects its shift to an all-new V4 prototype for 2026 and the value it places on Miller’s prior Ducati and KTM V4 experience.
  • BikeSport News detailed that BMW and Honda’s WorldSBK teams had prepared interest in Miller as a 2026 option if Yamaha delayed a commitment.
