Jack Miller has officially been confirmed to join Prima Pramac Yamaha for the 2025 MotoGP season.
The announcement marks a pivotal moment in both Miller’s career and Yamaha’s strategic direction as they aim to boost their competitiveness in the premier motorcycle racing championship.
The partnership will see Jack Miller reunite with Pramac, a team he previously raced for between 2018 and 2020, but this time he will be equipped with a factory-spec Yamaha YZR-M1 bike after the team announced its partnership with the manufacturer.
The seasoned rider made his debut in the premier class back in 2015 after transitioning directly from Moto3 where he had already made a name for himself with six wins.
Ever since, Miller has built an illustrious MotoGP career racing for multiple manufacturers including Honda, Ducati, and KTM, resulting to four wins and 23 podiums to his name. His previous stint with Pramac saw him secure nine podiums during his three years with the team.
With his 10-year tenure in premier class racing, the 29-year old brings a wealth of experience and skill to the team making him an invaluable asset as they aim to improve the manufacturer’s performance on the grid.
“We are happy to announce that Jack Miller is joining Prima Pramac Yamaha’s line-up, and we warmly welcome him to the Yamaha MotoGP group,” said Lin Jarvis, Managing Director of Yamaha Motor Racing.
“With 10 years of experience in the MotoGP class with three different manufacturers, Jack will be a valuable asset for Yamaha. His speed, knowledge, work ethic, and team spirit will be invaluable to our project as we plan to improve the performance of the M1 in 2025 and beyond.
“Yamaha will be supporting him in every way they can.”
Team Principal Paolo Campinoti welcomed Miller back with open arms, highlighting their shared history and expressed confidence in what they can achieve together moving forward.
“It is a pleasure to welcome Jack back to the team,” said Campinoti. “We supported his growth in MotoGP, and now it’s great to begin this new collaboration with Yamaha, counting on the support of a rider we know well.
“We wish Jack the best for the end of the season and are glad to welcome him back home in 2025.”
Meanwhile team manager Gino Borsoi will be working with Miller for the first time after joining Pramac at the beginning of last season.
“I will have the pleasure of working with Jack Miller for 2025 MotoGP Season,” Borsoi said. “He left good memories in the team, and I am confident we will be able to create new ones together.
“His extensive experience in MotoGP is certainly important for developing the new project we will be working on with Yamaha.”
Pramac Yamaha’s decision to bring Miller back into their fold comes after a challenging period for him at KTM, where he struggled to find consistent form and faced uncertainty regarding his future on the grid.
After being released from KTM, there were concerns that he might not secure a ride for the upcoming season. However, discussions between Yamaha management and his representatives ultimately led to this new opportunity.
Miller himself expressed excitement about this new chapter in his career in a statement following the announcement.
“It is extremely exciting,” Miller stated. “I did some of my best work on a one-year contract so I am no stranger to that and we will see what the future holds for us both.
“The feeling is awesome, working with them is going to be a lot of fun, and a lot of hard work as well.
“They have a great project already and I think it is only going to go from strength to strength with the satellite team coming back for 2025, things look good.”
Miller’s move to Pramac Yamaha marks the first full-time Australian rider in the premier class to race for the Japanese manufacturer since Garry McCoy over two decades ago.
This is a welcome development for Australian fans who have closely followed his journey through the sport.
Meanwhile, Rookie Pedro Acosta will take over Miller’s KTM seat for 2025 MotoGP Season.
