Jack Miller disappointed by KTM
Miller said he had received assurances from the Austrian leadership for next year, but things went differently. “They had me said: ‘Don’t talk to others, we want to keep you in our family’. Then I received a phone call three hours before the official statement where they told me I wouldn’t have a contract. I was surprised to say the least.” said the 29-year-old, who then continued without sparing a little polemical note. “I explained to him that I didn’t come to KTM to be in and out in a couple of years. – #43 again – I left the more competitive bike (Ducati, ed.) to bring my knowledge here and given the improvements achieved since last year I think I have been an added value”.

I’ve never closed the door to anyone, so I can chat with any team. Gresini?
