Yamaha Replaces Jack Miller with Izan Guevara for 2027 MotoGP

The move is designed to bring a BLU CRU‑trained rookie into MotoGP at the same time the sport adopts new 2027 technical rules.

Overview

  • Yamaha and Pramac confirmed on Thursday that Jack Miller will leave their MotoGP programme at the end of the 2026 season.
  • Pramac announced that Moto2 frontrunner Izan Guevara will step up to Pramac Yamaha for 2027 to partner Toprak Razgatlıoğlu.
  • Multiple outlets report Miller is expected to join Yamaha’s factory WorldSBK project with a formal Superbike announcement described as imminent.
  • Yamaha says Guevara’s promotion is a BLU CRU development success and that the 2027 shift to 850cc machines and a switch of tyre supplier makes it an ideal time for a rookie to join MotoGP.
  • The change signals a wider roster reset that will push several experienced riders toward WorldSBK and open more MotoGP seats for young riders, while Miller prepares for a new chapter in production‑bike racing.
