Pramac Yamaha rider Jack Miller emphasized that he is happy with every moment of his MotoGP career, despite the difficulties experienced with the new Yamaha V4 in the 2026 season and the uncertainty surrounding his contract for the future. The 31-year-old Australian made it clear in a statement at the end of the Brno race weekend that he has no regrets looking back.
A tough season, an uncertain future.
Miller has only managed to collect 11 points this season; this score is comparable to his teammate's. He is tied for the same points with Toprak Razgatlıoğlu. It's a close race. Fabio Quartararo, meanwhile, delivered his best performance of the season at Le Mans and Catalunya, finishing in the top six at both circuits. However, Quartararo is 16th in the world championship standings with 37 points, quite far behind. Factory rider Alex Rins is somewhere between Quartararo and Miller with 12 points. The overall picture isn't bright for Yamaha either: the team's machine failed to finish better than 14th in six out of nine races.
Looking ahead, the picture is even more complicated. Razgatlıoğlu is the only rider confirmed for the 2027 season in the Pramac Yamaha lineup; the team is preparing to enter the 850cc and Pirelli tire era with three new riders. Quartararo is preparing to part ways with Honda, while Miller and Rins are still looking for seats. While this situation represents significant uncertainty for Miller, the Australian rider is approaching the matter quite calmly.
He's not ready for test piloting.
Miller shared these words about his career in a statement he made in Brno over the weekend: “I don’t look back on anything. Everything I’ve done in my career has brought me to where I am today. I’m still doing the best job in the world. I look forward to the races. When the lights go out, I always have that same feeling of uncertainty; you don’t know where you’re going to finish. That’s why I love racing so much.”
Miller, who described his career as "fantastic," also highlighted his physical condition: "I've had a fantastic career so far. I'm only 31 years old and I feel I'm in the best physical shape of my career. I still believe I have a lot to give. That's why I'm not ready for test riding. Even reserve roles don't guarantee you'll be in a race; I always want to have a goal in mind, an objective I want to achieve." Miller, who has won with Honda and Ducati colors and also achieved a podium finish with KTM, will experience another special moment this weekend at the Assen circuit: the anniversary of his surprise MotoGP victory debut with Marc VDS Honda at that track in 2016.
