The confirmation of Toprak Razgatlioglu joining Prima Pramac Yamaha may have signalled the beginning of the end for Jack Miller’s MotoGP career. Although there’s still time until the summer break, the reality is that Miller looks increasingly likely to switch permanently to WorldSBK in 2026.
Miller has put in the effort, but his results remain underwhelming. Sitting 16th in the standings with just one top-five finish this season is unlikely to secure a seat, especially when other riders, like Miguel Oliveira, are already lined up contractually — injuries notwithstanding.
Even with his technical contributions to Yamaha’s improved M1, MotoGP is a results-driven sport. Yamaha is looking for more than just feedback; they need riders who can deliver points, podiums, and progress — especially with the high-profile addition of Razgatlioglu.
Given his past interest in Superbike racing, his confirmed entry into the Suzuka 8 Hours, and the possibility of working alongside Cal Crutchlow at Honda in WorldSBK, a move away from MotoGP seems increasingly realistic.
For Miller, MotoGP may be nearing its natural conclusion. While not an exit forced by failure, it could mark a new chapter where his experience and passion can be reignited in a different — yet still elite — racing environment.
