Jack Miller to leave MotoGP world championship after 16 years

Jack Miller, at 31 years old, will depart from MotoGP after 16 years, ending his tenure with Pramac at the conclusion of the 2026 season. The Australian rider achieved four premier-class victories, 23 podiums, and two pole positions during his time in the premier class. Miller's journey to MotoGP began in 2011, after Honda promoted him directly from Moto3.

His breakthrough came in 2015 when he secured a place with Pramac, after being dropped by Ducati. Despite three wins and 12 podiums with Pramac, he ultimately failed to secure another contract with the team. His subsequent move to KTM yielded only one podium, which was not enough to retain his position. In 2025, Campinoti joined forces with Yamaha, seeking riders with Miller's experience.

However, Miller's departure leaves Yamaha's WorldSBK project with a vacant seat, expected to be filled by Izan Guevara.
