Jack Miller expected to remain at Pramac as Toprak Razgatlioglu ‘likely’ to join Yamaha in 2027

Having only just started his MotoGP career with Pramac this season under a factory Yamaha deal, Razgatlioglu is already being linked with a move following Fabio Quartararo’s anticipated switch to Honda and Rins’ ongoing struggles in 2026. The paddock has been buzzing about Quartararo’s move to Honda for some time now, fuelled by his frustrations over Yamaha’s development progress.
In response, Yamaha has acted quickly, with reports suggesting they’ve lined up Aprilia star Jorge Martin as his successor. Now it seems the team are leaning towards pairing Martin with Razgatlioglu for the 2027 campaign. That shift would leave Rins out in the cold once his deal expires at the end of next year.
But Razgatlioglu stepping up could work out well for Miller, too, whose current contract is also set to run out soon.

He signed a two-year deal to move over from World Superbikes, and Yamaha have been keen on him ever since.
The Turk will replace Rins, which then opens the door for Miller to stay at Pramac. With next year’s regulation changes set up as an ideal opportunity to bring in fresh talent, Yamaha is expected to promote from within, and Moto2 standout Izan Guevara seems the obvious choice. If Guevara does step up, it shouldn’t put pressure on Miller’s position at Pramac.
Having spent 12 seasons in the premier class, he offers exactly what Yamaha needs: a proven presence who can help develop their V4 engine and steady things during the transition period. The Australian has also been an important support for Razgatlioglu during his early days in MotoGP. And as the three-time World Superbike champion continues adjusting through his final season of the 1,000cc era, that relationship should only grow stronger.
