This Austrian weekend will leave its mark in the MotoGP paddock, and in particular within the Ducati clan. The fault lies with Jorge Lorenzo who tumbled like a dog in a game of bowling. The Mallorcan knocked on the door of the Borgo Panigale brand who would have sacrificed Jack Miller to make the deal happen. The Australian, upon discovering the situation, took a hit on the carafe. Since then, everything has returned to normal with Lorenzo finally loyal to Honda. Miller just needs to sign. Only, it’s not happening like that yet…

The words are from his manager Aki Ajo. Which, as we know, is close to KTM…Even if the Austrian brand will no longer officially be in the landscape Moto2 next year, the ties between the Austrians and the Finns will remain strong. The extension of the contract Miller for half a million euros and a Ducati GP20 is under the nose of the Australian, brought to the Red Bull Ring by the boss of Pramac himself, Paolo Campinoti. Who, by the way, always supported him in this storm Lorenzo...

So, all's well that ends well? Not yet. Another hypothesis has been put forward: the move of Miller towards KTM, who would have made him the offer to replace Johann zarco. The head of the Australian, Aki Ajo, explained that it will take at least a week to define Jack's future. And then, when everything seemed to be done, here comes the domino of the 2020 MotoGP rider market which becomes complicated again… And Miller would return to a manufacturer who discovered him in Moto3 before moving into MotoGP directly with Honda.
