Jack Miller picked up just two points during the Grand Prix of Aragon weekend. The uncertainty over his future at Pramac persists.
Pramac have now confirmed the signing of Toprak Razgatlioglu for 2026. That naturally means either Miller or teammate Miguel Oliveira will leave.
Miller only signed a one-year deal when he joined Pramac this winter. He therefore looks extremely vulnerable once again after bagging the final seat on the 2025 grid.
Oliveira isn’t meeting a performance clause in his deal at present, having missed four races due to injury. That offers Miller some hope, but the Portuguese still has time to meet the requirements.
Jack Miller looks like a rider under pressure in Pramac clip from Aragon Grand Prix
Yamaha lacked pace at the Aragon Grand Prix, with Fabio Quartararo the only rider to make Q2 on Saturday. Miller was at least second best, continuing a common theme this season.
He qualified 14th, one spot ahead of Quartararo’s factory teammate Alex Rins. Oliveira followed in 16th.
All three riders gained a place during the Sprint, but they still didn’t get close to the points. Quartararo went down in the main race, with Rins the lead Yamaha in P11 and the Pramac duo rounding out the points.
Fox Sports were following Miller during the weekend. Their footage shows the disconsolate 30-year-old staring at the rear of his M1 and gesticulating to himself after he climbed off the bike on Saturday afternoon.
He then walked straight into the garage without acknowledging any of his team members, though he did take his seat for the debrief.
Jack Miller’s MotoGP future could go in the most unexpected direction
On merit, Miller should arguably keep the seat next to Razgatlioglu. He’s beaten Oliveira in every competitive session when both riders have been healthy.
But he looked like a rider under pressure on Saturday, perhaps aware that he may need to deliver more headline results (like his P5 in Austin) to put Yamaha in a position where they can’t afford to let him go.
Yamaha have spoken positively about Miller’s contribution since his arrival from KTM. But that only offers a thin veneer of job security.
Remarkably, one report has suggested Miller could race for the Yamaha factory team next year, replacing Rins. That would depend on whether the Japanese manufacturer have a contractual right to part with the underperforming Spaniard.
