The performance of Miller and his teammate Miguel Oliveira, still convalescing, raise questions within the team. Yamaha et Pramac could reorganize their duo for 2026, especially since a certain Toprak Razgatlioglu is clearly one of the options being considered.

Until then, the Silverstone Grand Prix and the following races will be decisive for his future.
