After pre-season testing to prepare for the 2022 season at Jerez, Jack Miller is back in Australia and tells us how he was finally able to take part in the Australian Superbike Championship this weekend at the final round at The Bend, what his motivation is and how much of the friendly rivalry he has with his teammate and roommate in Europe, Josh Hook, is present.
The Australian MotoGP star will take part in two Superbike races this Sunday aboard a Ducati Panigale V4 R. Indeed, this weekend, the grand final of the Australian Superbike championship will take place on The Bend track, at 100 kilometers south-east of Adelaide. The Bend International Circuit is 4,95 km long and has 18 turns offering overtaking opportunities and innovative lines. It will be the first time he has competed on home soil in two years, after the 2020 and 2021 Australian Grands Prix were canceled due to the global pandemic.
The Panigale V4R that Jack Miller will ride belongs to the Desmosport Ducati Team in the ASBK, and one of the owners of this team is none other than the three-time Superbike world champion, Troy Bayliss. In 2020, Team Desmosport won the championship with Mike Jones, a driver who is not vaccinated and therefore cannot compete at Phillip Island. Jack Miller knows the Borgo Panigale Superbike machine well, as he regularly trains on his Panigale V4S on European circuits. Fans will have several ways to watch him race, with the ASBK broadcast live on FacebookOn the Official Website, as well as on SBS, or Fox Sports 505.
