Jack Miller may already have discovered his fate at Pramac Yamaha as he approaches the end of his contract, according to a report.

While no deals have yet been announced, with Yamaha reluctant to sign the 2027 commercial agreement in its current form, it’s believed that three of the four seats are effectively filled.

Jorge Martin and Ai Ogura will form a brand-new factory line-up, with Alex Rins out and Fabio Quartararo moving to Honda. Toprak Razgatlioglu is already under contract for next year, leaving Miller’s seat as the only potential vacancy.

Jack Miller could be following Alex Rins out of Yamaha

Miller ranks 21st in the championship after the first five rounds, only above a selection of test riders and injured Tech3 ace Maverick Vinales.

According to The Race, there are some ‘suggestions in the MotoGP paddock’ that Yamaha have already told Miller he’s ‘surplus to requirements’ for 2027. Moto2 riders Senna Agius and Izan Guevara could be battling for the seat instead.

Does Jack Miller still have the talent to fight further up the grid?

Yamaha told Alex Rins at the Spanish GP that his deal wouldn’t be renewed, as the Spaniard revealed himself. It would make sense, on that basis, that they have also updated Miller.

Miller has been praised for his contribution to Yamaha’s development but his underwhelming results may cost him as the brand eye a refresh heading into the sport’s new era.

Izan Guevara contract clause could guarantee MotoGP move

Guevara is part of Yamaha’s young rider programme and, according to Motosprint, he has reached a ‘special agreement’ with the manufacturer that could see him promoted to MotoGP.

If he finishes the season as the top Boscoscuro rider in the standings, he will ‘automatically’ earn the Pramac seat. Teammate Alberto Ferrandez, Aron Canet, Deniz Oncu, Celestino Vietti, Luca Lunetta and Dennis Foggia are the other riders on the same bike.

After Guevara won the French GP last weekend, he sits second in the championship behind Manuel Gonzalez. If such an ‘agreement’ truly has been reached, he’s on course to step up to the premier class.
