Sparks never struck between Jack Miller and Fabio Quartararo. Here’s what the Australian, increasingly in a crisis of results at KTM, revealed.
The riders of the premier class are aware of all the difficulties they had to face to reach the top levels of the MotoGP. In some cases they even go beyond their real abilities to demonstrate that they are worth riding the best bikes on the grid. Jack Miller is one of those riders who had the great chance in his career to arrive in a top team at the time when he was the point of reference on the grid.
His path in the Pramac satellite team went hand in hand with that of Pecco Bagnaia, author of an extraordinary ride, which led him to the top of the world in the last two years. The Australian was put in the same conditions as the Italian, however he never managed to find the right consistency to win his first world championship recognition in the MotoGP.
He was a team player for the Borgo Panigale manufacturer, demonstrating an attachment to the cause that not all riders would have had. His contribution was also decisive on the occasion of the last act of 2022 when he fought against Fabio Quartararo in the opening stages of the Valencia Grand Prix to put Bagnaia in the best possible conditions to win the world championship. At the end of that year the Emilian company decided to promote Enea Bastianini, third in the drivers’ standings, and Jack Miller signed with the factory KTM team.
Riding the orange bike he was unable to consistently achieve noteworthy placings. The experienced Brad Binder has proven to be a rider with greater consistency, even capable of winning GPs. Miller was not confirmed because the fearsome rookie Pedro Acosta was preferred to him, while Enea Bastianini and Maverick Vinales will race in the Tech3 satellite team starting next season.
Jack Miller’s attack on Fabio Quartararo
The Australian would still have the desire to demonstrate his worth on a competitive bike like the Ducati Desmosedici. Although he was unable to be decisive in a fight for the world championship in his two years in the factory team, he helped the team to win the manufacturers’ awards.I have a great relationship with Gigi Dall’Igna, Domenicali and other people. I have no doubt that if I returned to this bike I would be in the top five almost immediately.”Miller said, as reported on BRAND.
Then on DAZN came the attack on the 2021 world champion, Fabio Quartararo, today in technical difficulty with the Yamaha M1. “One who had arrived behind me in the previous race he just signed for 12 millionso I’m sure I’ll be able to find a job“, declared the Australian boldly.
