With no clear MotoGP seat for 2027, Jack Miller is reportedly being courted by Yamaha for its factory World Superbike team. Teammate Andrea Locatelli has warned that the R1 is in difficulty, saying a top-five finish currently carries the weight of a win elsewhere. A decision is expected in September.

Whether you can commit to jumping on a struggling bike — that's a pressure only someone who's felt the throttle at their fingertips really understands. On an R1 where you're on your own from corner entry to exit, it'll be something to watch how far Miller can dig it out. A top-five being worth a win elsewhere is honestly no joke.

I want to see how far Miller can turn the R1 around.

A top-five being worth a win really drives home how tough it is, numbers-wise.

Kind of sad to think there weren't other offers on the table.

Jumping to a struggling R1 seems risky for his career, honestly.

If Locatelli's saying it's struggling outright, it must be pretty bad.
