After a shorter summer break, Jack Miller will return to his MotoGP duties with the Prima Pramac Yamaha Racing squad.

The MotoGP summer break ends this weekend, but Jack Miller did not experience as long a break as other riders, as he took on the Suzuka 8 Hours.

The Australian rider headed to Japan to compete for Yamaha's factory team at the iconic endurance event alongside World Superbike rider, Andrea Locatelli and Katsuyuki Nakasuga.

At the end of the 8-hour race, the factory Yamaha squad finished in second place, behind the factory Honda Racing Corporation entry.

"The Suzuka 8 Hours has been a fantastic experience, and to share the Yamaha with Nakasuga-san and Locatelli was wonderful," Miller said.

"I wanted to win, but we were up against strong competition. This was my second time riding in the 8 Hours, and I got on the podium. I definitely want to participate in the 8 Hours again as a Yamaha rider and get my hands on that big trophy.

"It‘s true that racing in Japan didn‘t leave me much time for a vacation, but now it‘s time to focus on the World Championship again and the Austrian GP. I‘m feeling very motivated."

Miller has had decent levels of success at the Red Bull Ring as he has stood on the podium at the Austrian circuit on three occasions.

"The Red Bull Ring is a track I really like and where I‘ve had some good results in the past. I‘m curious to see how the Yamaha will perform there, hopefully, we‘ll be competitive right away and able to fight for some good points."

After 12 races in the 2025 MotoGP World Championship, Miller finds himself in 14th place in the standings with a best result of fifth place.

However, there is doubt around the Australian's future as he does not have a contract signed for 2026. But recent reports and rumours suggest Miller could get promoted from the Prima Pramac Racing squad to the factory Monster Energy Yamaha squad next season.
