Pramac Yamaha’s Bold Move: Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira Set to Spearhead New Era

"Insights from the paddock" on Pramac's decision to select Jack Miller

The attributes Jack Miller offers to Pramac highlighted

Pramac Yamaha has been praised for wisely signing riders who have experience with competing bikes.

Miguel Oliveira, who is presently with Trackhouse Aprilia, has been announced as the inaugural rider for the new phase of Pramac, as they transition from Ducati to Yamaha in 2025.

Jack Miller, who is presently with KTM, is expected to join Oliveira in Yamaha's upcoming satellite team.

TNT Sports' Neil Hodgson mentioned that the overall consensus among those within the paddock is positive regarding Miller's signing.

"Yamaha is currently at a disadvantage compared to the European manufacturers. They need to enhance their motorcycle."

Why not pick someone like Miller for development work, given that he has experience riding for three different manufacturers?

“Oliveira is also quite experienced. Both of them have secured grand prix victories.”

"It's undeniable that they are at the height of their careers, and they are likely also at the peak of their growth and expertise."

"That's the asset Yamaha has acquired. Pramac made an excellent deal."

Michael Laverty commented that while Oliveira has experience riding for KTM and Aprilia, he has yet to meet the high expectations set for him. Laverty noted that Oliveira is a clever and insightful development rider.

"Similarly, when Miller transitioned from Ducati to KTM, he nearly stabilized their approach to race weekends and introduced new components."

"He contributed his expertise and insight, aiding in the establishment of an improved system within the garage during race weekends."

"Yamaha is acquiring detailed insights about Aprilia and KTM. It's a smart strategy."

Max Bartolini would have played a crucial role, considering his experience working with Miller at Ducati. He understands Miller's potential. No one wanted Miller to depart; it was premature in his career.

The collaboration between Miller and former Ducati engineer Bartolini, who currently heads Yamaha's technical team, presents an interesting opportunity.

Renowned Australian racer Jack Miller was nearly dropped from MotoGP after losing his spot on the KTM team, and he was already discussing his potential retirement from the top racing category.

He has raced in MotoGP for Honda, Ducati, and KTM.

Throughout his time in MotoGP, Oliveira has competed on both KTM and Aprilia motorcycles.

Pramac Yamaha decided to go with two experienced riders, even though they were strongly associated with several promising talents from Moto2.
