Australian Jack Miller has signed for the Pramac Ducati squad for the 2018 season, partnering Italian Danilo Petrucci.
The one-time race winner will join Ducati on a Factory contract, departing the Marc VDS squad where he has raced since last season.
The move leaves Scott Redding without a ride for the 2018 season unless the Briton can find a ride elsewhere in the MotoGP paddock.
Miller’s MotoGP career started in 2015 with the LCR Honda squad. Miller moved up quickly from Moto3, just missing out on the championship to Alex Marquez.
His first season was met with difficulties, mainly down to the poor performance of the open class Honda. The Australian then made the move to the Marc VDS squad last season, where he was able to take the win at Assen in mixed conditions.
Miller will now contest on the Factory Ducati next season, after what has been a mixed 2017 so far.
