Jack Miller disappointed with 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 announcement 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 small note of controversy. “I explained to him that I hadn’t come to KTM to be in and out in a couple of years – still #43 – I left the more competitive bike (Ducati, ed.) to bring my knowledge here and given the improvements achieved since last year I believe I have been an added value.”
