Jack Miller Reflects on Challenging Two Years at KTM
Australian MotoGP rider Jack Miller recently expressed his disappointment after facing a challenging tenure with KTM over the past two years. The racer, known for his previous successes with Honda and Ducati, joined KTM in 2023 with hopes of bolstering their MotoGP program. However, despite some early podium finishes, Miller struggled to match his teammate Brad Binder’s performance, leading to a tumultuous 2024 season filled with obstacles.
Struggles and Disappointment
Throughout the 2024 season, Miller faced difficulties finishing inside the top 10 consistently due to issues with chattering and Michelin’s new front tire. These challenges ultimately led KTM to not renew his contract, leaving Miller disheartened by the outcome. Despite initial unhappiness with the situation, Miller has now offered a reflective perspective on his time at KTM, expressing disappointment for all parties involved.
Resilience and Moving Forward
Despite the setbacks, Miller showcased his fighting spirit during the Thai Grand Prix in October, where he impressively climbed from 15th to fifth place. This resilient performance highlighted Miller’s unwavering determination and commitment to never giving up in the face of adversity. Reflecting on his time with KTM, Miller emphasized his dedication to giving his best on the track and striving for competitiveness, even when faced with challenges.
New Beginnings with Yamaha
Following his departure from KTM, Miller faced uncertainty about his future in MotoGP. However, he secured a factory contract with Yamaha to join their new satellite team Pramac for the upcoming season. This opportunity marks a fresh start for Miller, who previously had a successful stint with Pramac from 2018-2020 as part of Ducati’s satellite structure.
As Miller embarks on this new chapter with Yamaha, he remains focused on delivering his best performance and achieving his goals in the highly competitive world of MotoGP. Despite the trials and tribulations faced during his time at KTM, Miller’s resilience and determination serve as a testament to his unwavering passion for racing and commitment to success in the sport.
