Ducati may claim that between being at Pramac or in a red suit, it will be the same, technically and even financially speaking, there is still a real career stake between Jorge Martin and Enea Bastianini with a view to 2023. An arbitration will be made, and announced at the latest by the beginning of September in Misano between the Spaniard and the Italian to succeed Jack Miller as Pecco Bagnaia's teammate. And in the evaluation, the Australian puts his arguments in the balance, with this mention which could well count in the development of the final verdict…
Jack Miller may well be the victim of this change of direction from his employer Ducati, which still excludes him from his fold due to results considered disappointing, he retains no resentment. He has already made it clear: he will leave the Borgo Panigale factory with a light heart and he will offer everything he can give until the end of the adventure. Attentive, the brand always considers it, to the point of submitting its latest developments to it. Which could nevertheless be as much information for its future destination which is KTM.
The three-time MotoGP winner's dedication is such that he even gives his assessments of his expected replacements to help decide who should determine who, George Martin or d'Enea Bastianini will take up residence.

Jack Miller: “ Enea Bastianini uses her body in very strange but effective ways«
Public chat speedweek, we read thus: “ Enea Bastianini has a completely different riding style and he is much smaller than me in terms of stature. It helps him a lot. But the way he controls the bike is also remarkable. He uses his body in very strange but effective ways. It never slips on the bike. He never stands, that helps him a lot. But Enea rides completely differently from me. It wouldn't work if I copied or imitated his driving style ».
He even adds: “ If I knew what Enea does best, I would imitate her. He drives very well. As he passes me, his extraordinary style catches my attention. He sits very centrally on the bike, his head tilted wide towards the inside of the corner. His bike moves under him, you can see it, but it works for him, he stays really focused and calm. And of course, he's a pocket man, a little guy. This is why he is very fast on the straights; this cannot be disputed. The low weight helps it make quick changes of direction. If you have to lift and lower 10 kg more each time, it's physically demanding ».
On this level, it is necessary to recall the measurements which oppose Jack Miller et Enea Bastianini. The first fact 1m73 for 64 kilos while the second does 1m68 for also 64 kilos… George Martin does 1m68 for 62 kilos and Pecco Bagnaia does 1m76 for 67 kilos. Considerations which enter into the thinking of decision-makers, the WSBK having demonstrated it with the return ofAlvaro Bautista with almost identical measurements to his teammate Rinaldi, but with more assertive talent.
