Jack Miller had the opportunity to speak for the first time after his departure from KTM was made official at the end of this season. Arriving in the ranks of the Austrian factory in 2023 after leaving Lenovo Team Ducati, Miller had placed high hopes in this project alongside Brad Binder. However, a year and a half later, the results are mixed: Miller has only been on the podium once, at the 2023 Spanish Grand Prix, where he finished third. Although his presence in the top ten is generally assured, he remains far from the performances of his teammate Binder and was surpassed by rookie Pedro Acosta.
During an interview in Assen, Miller shared his feelings about these last days of break. As he explained, KTM had promised to keep it in the family » when they told him thatAcosta would take his bike in 2025. However, when the factory announced Enea Bastianini et Maverick Vinales as team drivers Tech3, Miller felt betrayal. “ The last thing I heard was: 'Don't bother talking to anyone, we want to keep you in the family', then you get a call three hours before the press release goes out saying, 'You're not going to get a contract.' So yes, it surprised me to say the least“, he told Assen.
Jack Miller expressed his disappointment: “ I'm not happy or satisfied with the way things turned out., This is not what I planned to do. I am the first to be more disappointed than anyone. I felt disappointed in myself because I failed to achieve what I had set out to do at the beginning of the year. But that's how it is sometimes and we'll keep working and we'll come back."
Jack Miller: “ I think I have more to give here in MotoGP »
Regarding his future, Miller claims to have “ options on the table » to stay in MotoGP: “ I think I have more to give here in MotoGP, if I can get a competitive or interesting package, it's just a matter of weighing my options and what will be best for me in my career."
Rumors suggest that Miller could come back Ducati, perhaps with Gresini Racing alongsideAlex Marquez. " It would be very interesting because I know the bike very well, I know the structure very well, I have no doubt that I could get back on this bike and be in the top five almost instantly“, he commented on Todocircuito.
À 29 years, Miller is looking for a stable long-term project, especially in view of the regulatory changes planned for 2027: “ a lot will change in MotoGP from 2027 and working on a project and looking for a long term home to finish my last strong years in MotoGP and working towards a common goal is one of those things we have to weigh."
What is clear for Miller, is that he does not plan to hang up the leather: “ I don't consider myself a test pilot. I couldn't, I love it so much. I like running. I don't like being a test pilot, I do it and I like the job because you work to achieve a goal. But that's of no interest to me."
