How Long Every MotoGP Rider Is Signed For – Full Contract Breakdown
Wondering who’s safe for 2025 and who might be on the move? Here's a complete rundown of every MotoGP rider's contract length.
Jack Miller’s MotoGP future remains unresolved, and the Australian has made clear his patience with Yamaha is running out.
After the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend began at Balaton Park, Miller admitted he still hasn’t had any clarity on whether the Japanese manufacturer plans to keep him as part of its MotoGP project beyond this season.
“I’ve been more than patient enough,” Miller told reporters.
“If you want me, you want me. If you don’t, you don’t. It’s as clear as that.”
“Your guess is as good as mine right now in terms of their strategy.”
Miller had expected an answer after the Austrian Grand Prix, but Yamaha’s management has yet to commit to a 2026 teammate for WorldSBK champion Toprak Razgatlioglu in the Prima Pramac Yamaha team.
That indecision has left the 29-year-old weighing options away from MotoGP, including a switch to WorldSBK with Ducati, where he has been linked to Alvaro Bautista’s seat in the Aruba.it factory team.
The uncertainty follows Yamaha’s wider struggles. At the last grand prix, all four M1s filled the bottom four places of the results sheet.
While Fabio Quartararo remains the cornerstone of the project with a contract until the end of 2026, the rest of Yamaha’s line-up is far less secure.
Alex Rins is also locked in until 2026, but Miguel Oliveira’s 1+1 deal depends on performance targets he may already have missed. Miller’s current contract expires at the end of 2025.
The picture seemed to clear when rumours suggested Moto2 talent Diogo Moreira opted to join Honda instead of Yamaha, leaving Miller the strongest candidate to partner Toprak Razgatlioglu at Pramac in 2026.
However, the delay in a decision on Yamaha’s fourth rider suggests the Japanese are keeping other options, including Moto2 championship leader Manuel Gonzalez, who impressed as a late call-up for Trackhouse Aprilia at MotoGP’s Aragon test, alive.
“I wanted to contribute to developing the new V4, because I think I’ve got a lot of experience that could help them.”
“But if they don’t see the value in that, then I’ll move on to something different.”
Miller has outscored his teammate Oliveira comfortably this season, with 52 points compared to the Portuguese rider’s six, making him Yamaha’s second-best performer behind Quartararo.
“The time is passing, and to be honest, it feels like Yamaha doesn’t want me. Especially with all the names they keep putting on the list.”
With Yamaha focused on building a competitive V4 for 2026 and preparing for the switch to 850cc in 2027, the clock is ticking – both on its engine development programme and on Miller’s decision about where he’ll ride next.
