Jack Miller argues that the constant changes in the MotoGP calendar are counterproductive. He believes that the disorder in the 2024 MotoGP calendar is becoming tiresome, especially with three notable changes occurring in the first half of the season. These changes led to the cancellation of the Argentina Grand Prix due to funding issues, the postponement of the Kazakhstan race due to extreme floods, and the cancellation of the Indian Grand Prix, which opened up an opportunity for the Sokol International Circuit. Miller, who will leave the KTM team next year, states that these constant calendar changes cause more harm than benefit to the series. He expresses his hope that this will be the end of it, but acknowledges that only time will tell.
Despite the calendar changes, Miller explains that this does not affect his preparation or that of other MotoGP riders for race weekends. He takes one race at a time and focuses on his training and plan for the year’s grand prix. Although he acknowledges that being better positioned in the points may change his perspective, he states that, at this moment, the calendar changes have not had a significant impact on him. He emphasizes that these changes are not exclusive to this year and that riders always establish a plan at the beginning of the year, for which they train.
The postponement of the Kazakhstan Grand Prix resulted in a three-week break after the race in Mugello. The next race in Assen is scheduled for the end of this month. The 2024 MotoGP calendar includes consecutive races in Assen and Sachsenring, followed by the traditional three-week summer break, and then races in Silverstone and the 75th anniversary.
