So Miller might ride an R1 in WSBK. That Australian's riding is always fun to watch, always flat-out. Moving from MotoGP to Superbikes is a career rebuild. Miller tearing it up on a production-derived R1 - honestly, I'd want to see that. That this much buzz comes at just the rumor stage is a testament to that guy's star power.

Moving from MotoGP to WSBK feels like one of those trends that's grown more common over the last few years.

I honestly just want to see Miller running wild in WSBK.

Cannepa weighing in on this—does that mean it's information coming from a source close to official?

This is still rumor stage, so it's probably best treated as speculation until there's an official announcement.

If a rider as talented as Miller entered WSBK on a Yamaha R1, he'd probably become the eye of the storm.

Moving from MotoGP to WSBK is honestly often viewed as a step down in career, so it's a decision worth watching.

That said, being able to fight for a title in WSBK might actually mean more for him than staying mid-pack in MotoGP.
