JAKARTA – Jack Miller has given Yamaha an ultimatum to decide his future as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will be open to offers from other teams.
The rider's contract, which races for the Prima Pramac satellite team, expires at the end of this season. However, the manufacturer has yet to provide a response regarding whether his contract will be extended.
"I've been more than patient. If you want me, say so. If you don't want me, say so. It's that clear," Miller said, as reported by the MotoGP website.
Jack Miller's position is under threat after the Japanese manufacturer decided to sign two-time WorldSBK champion Toprak Razgatlioglu.
Furthermore, his current teammate Miguel Oliveira's contract at Prima Pramac also expires next season. This situation puts Miller in a precarious position.
On paper, Miller's performance so far this season has been impressive. He currently sits 17th in the standings, ahead of Oliveira, who sits 25th.
Miller admitted that the uncertainty surrounding his future has persisted for so long that his desire to continue contributing to the Yamaha project is now waning.
"I have options, and I will continue with those options if a new contract offer doesn't come soon. I have one option in mind, but I won't tell anyone," he said.
Yamaha is reportedly considering other riders, such as Manuel Gonzalez, the current Moto2 championship leader. If signed, Gonzalez would be a Pramac rookie and partner Toprak next season.
However, choosing Miller could offer Yamaha a double advantage. Besides being more consistent, Miller also has experience with various major manufacturers' motorcycles, including Ducati, Honda, and KTM.
