As we know, KTM has released their official 2025 MotoGP racer line-up with a fierce squad consisting of Brad Binder, Pedro Acosta, Maverick Vinales and Enea Bastianini. And this causes the names Jack Miller and Augusto Fernandez to end their journey as Pierer Mobility Group racers at the Valencia Finale later. Augusto Fernandez is reportedly exploring the Marc VDS SBK team, so what about Jack Miller?
Initially, we estimated that if Mir left Honda, Jack Miller might be able to return to Mother Earth and his experience at Ducati and KTM would be very useful for the direction of development of HRC Honda, which could now be said to be quite ‘lost’. However, Mir is expected to remain with the factory Honda team and Jack Miller will miss the opportunity to return to HRC because Idemitsu LCR seats are generally reserved for Asian racers (those affiliated with Honda). Then where will Jack land?
To Yamaha? “And we are discussing with Alex Rins to extend the agreement by one year,” emphasized Lin Jarvis, Managing Director of Yamaha Motor Racing while still serving as Sporting Director. “Ideally we are planning a two-year program with the racer of our choice,” as Fabio has done Quartararo for 2025 and 2026. Looks like Yamaha is covered, right?
The lineup of most satellite teams will only be determined after the summer break or even later, in September or October. However, ahead of Assen there was news that Gresini Ducati seemed quite interested in extending the contract with Alex Márquez and was thought to have agreed to prepare second place for Jack Miller. Yes, Jack will return to Ducati. . . And if Pramac becomes the village head to Yamaha then the effect is that Fermin Aldeguer is expected to be entrusted to the VR46 Racing Team and will later team up with Diggia.
