Hello, how are you today?
The KTM MotoGP rider, Jack Miller, acknowledges that he would be open to joining the Gas Gas team with the Tech3 brand in 2025, understanding that Pedro Acosta is a strong contender for his current position. Miller signed a two-year contract with KTM for 2023, but his performance has been lacking compared to his teammates this season. He has struggled with crashes and discomfort with the front tire compounds, resulting in a decrease in points compared to last year. Before the previous race in Barcelona, Miller expressed concern about comments made by KTM’s motorsport boss, Pit Beirer, regarding his performance and that of Augusto Fernandez. Miller believes that his contribution to the bike’s development has been overlooked and that he has played a significant role in the project’s progress. He acknowledges the competition for his place and is determined to keep improving. However, it is likely that KTM will offer an official spot to Pedro Acosta to keep him, which would mean there would be no place for Miller on the team. Miller believes that Tech3 is no longer a satellite team and would be open to riding for them next year. He emphasizes the importance of time and effort in building a successful project and expresses his dedication to improving the bike. Miller praises KTM and its riders and is willing to adapt, if necessary. The possibility of Miller moving to Tech3 and Acosta going to the official team has been discussed since pre-season, and Miller’s current form has increased the likelihood of KTM parting ways with him. Although Miller’s contribution to development is valued, his current performance is not sustainable. It is suggested that Miller has other options, such as joining Ducati’s World Superbike program or potentially Honda’s MotoGP team. However, Miller has accepted the possibility of moving to Tech3. The availability of other riders, such as Jorge Martin or Marc Marquez, could make Miller dispensable, but Ducati is expected to keep both. If KTM wants a rookie in the Tech3 team next year, Augusto Fernandez is likely to be chosen to give up his spot. Miller’s move to Tech3 could benefit all parties involved, but he needs to improve his performance.
