Jack Miller Speaks Out on Nationality and 2025 MotoGP Prospects Amid Pramac Yamaha Rumors

Jack Miller addresses 2025 MotoGP speculation: "My nationality shouldn't be the reason I'm in this competition."

"I don't want my country of origin to be the deciding factor."

Jack Miller has expressed his desire not to let his country of origin affect his chances of securing a MotoGP spot for 2025, amidst growing speculation about a potential comeback with Pramac.

As the premier motorcycle racing series entered its mid-season hiatus last month, it seemed as though the career of the rider who has claimed victory in four grand prix races was coming to an end. Following the British Grand Prix, Miller shared with the press that he had not received any offers for his racing services.

In recent times, he has been closely associated with joining Pramac Yamaha, teaming up with Miguel Oliveira.

During the Austrian Grand Prix, he acknowledged that discussions have taken place, but no agreements have been finalized yet.

MotoGP's interest in maintaining an Australian presence in the competition is believed to have contributed to his consideration for a spot at Pramac. This is while the team appears to have also chosen to focus on hiring seasoned riders to speed up the Yamaha's progression.

Fox Sports quoted Miller as stating, "Ultimately, these teams are investing tens of millions of dollars to compete in races."

"Regardless of your nationality, be it Australian, Spanish, Chinese, or any other, if you have speed, they will secure your signature."

"I'd prefer it not to appear on my passport, but rather to reflect in my swiftness."

"Clearly, Spain and Italy are currently home to some incredibly talented cyclists, but being here merely due to my nationality holds no appeal for me whatsoever."

"I am here because I am confident that I can compete with them."

"During the second quarter at Silverstone last week, and securing a place in the top seven during the sprint race… we're proving we still have pace, and I believe there's still room for me to improve and develop further. My aim isn't just to participate because I'm from Australia."

Miller's season with KTM in 2024 has been challenging, yet he showed promise in the Austrian GP last weekend, performing strongly before a crash ended his race from sixth place.

The Australian rider previously competed with Pramac, using Ducati bikes, from 2018 to 2020, before moving up to race for Ducati's official team from 2021 to 2022.

Miller collaborated with Yamaha's current technical director, Max Bartolini, during their time together at Ducati.
