Pramac confirms Miller for 2018 MotoGP season

Motorsport.com revealed that Miller, who currently races for Marc VDS Honda, reached an agreement to move across to Pramac during the last round before the summer break at the Sachsenring.
However, the Australian's Suzuka 8 Hours commitments with the works Honda HARC-Pro team made an announcement impossible before the Japanese enduro took place at the end of last month.
Further negotiations then took place last weekend at Brno, where the final details of a direct one-year agreement with Ducati were firmed up.
Miller replaces Scott Redding aboard Pramac's year-old Desmosedici machine, while teammate Danilo Petrucci will ride a latest-spec GP18.
Having lost his seat to Miller, Redding now faces an uncertain MotoGP future, with a move back to Marc VDS thought to be his best option of staying in the grand prix paddock.
He is also believed to have an option join World Superbikes with the privateer Barni Ducati squad, but said last weekend that this was not his preferred option and that staying in MotoGP remains his priority.
Meanwhile, Honda World Superbike rider Stefan Bradl has been linked with a move back to MotoGP with Marc VDS in recent weeks.
