Jack Miller achieves Yamaha’s best result in two seasons at MotoGP Americas

Jack Miller recorded an impressive result for the Prima Yamaha team by finishing fifth at the MotoGP Americas 2025 at Circuit of The Americas (COTA).

The Australian rider — who previously represented Ducati and KTM teams — delivered Yamaha‘s best result in two seasons at Austin, Texas.

Miller’s performance has shown positive signs since preseason testing — despite experiencing issues and crashes in the first two rounds.

The fifth-place finish was partly due to fortunate circumstances during grid start chaos. The delayed start allowed Miller to change his tire strategy — switching from wet tires to slicks for dry conditions as the weather improved.

This strong result marks a turning point for Yamaha, which has struggled for competitiveness in recent seasons.

Miller’s adaptability and strategic decision-making highlight his potential— to push the team forward as they continue developing their bike to close the gap with the frontrunners.
