Jack Miller’s Yamaha Deal for 2025 Falls Through; KTM Re-engages
Jack Miller’s anticipated move to Yamaha for the 2025 MotoGP season has reportedly unraveled due to internal disagreements over contract terms and performance expectations. The proposed deal, which had generated significant excitement, faced obstacles as Yamaha and Miller struggled to align on critical issues such as the contract length and development priorities.
Yamaha sought a long-term commitment from Miller, emphasizing a focus on bike feedback and testing to drive their development. Conversely, Miller preferred a more flexible arrangement that would allow him greater maneuverability.
With the Yamaha deal now off the table, Miller is exploring opportunities with other manufacturers. KTM, recognizing a gap in their future lineup, has re-opened discussions with Miller. The Austrian manufacturer is potentially offering a performance-oriented package for 2025, aiming to keep Miller within their ranks and align with his preferences.
