Jack Miller dreamed of it and next year the dream will finally become reality for the Australian who will be an official Ducati rider, after three years spent with the Pramac team. To date, the name of his future teammate is not yet known. Andrea Dovizioso, the Spearhead of the Reds having decided not to renew his contract with the house of Borgo Panigale. For now, “Jack Dios” sets the tone while the season is in full swing, he has one and the same goal in mind: to fight for the title. A strong message sent to Dovi who, also, would see himself winning the title and leaving Ducati through the front door..
Even though his shoulder still hurts, Jack Miller feels completely ready this season, to fight for the MotoGP world championship which he feels within his reach. Currently he occupies 3rd position in the world championship rankings, behind Fabio Quartararo who is the leader and Andrea Dovizioso his dolphin.
« It's still too early, but I want to think that I have everything to be able to achieve this" , did he declare. “ The most important thing is to continue to accumulate points, the championship, as strange as it is, is still quite long. It is essential not to get injured and not to make any more mistakes: I have already collected a zero point in Jerez, there should not be more, at least I hope so ».
His handicap nevertheless remains his injury to his right shoulder which is still fragile. An injury that occurred after the fall during the qualifying session for the Styrian Grand Prix: “ It's not great, it must be said, I feel it especially after the effort made during a race“he specifies. He pursues : "there are movements I can't do, like raising my arm too much, but I think I should be pretty good for the Misano race. Here in Andorra I work with a physiotherapist from Clinica Mobile to be ready ».
It is clear that despite the pain, the Pramac driver, tough all the same, managed to get into 3rd during the Austrian Grand Prix, two weeks ago and continued his momentum last weekend , he finished 2nd during the Styrian Grand Prix, on the same Red Bull Ring track. A great performance also due to his extremely competitive Desmosedici: “jI think I have a great bike now, it works well and we have improved some points. I feel lucky to ride this Ducati. Sunday, for example, I was injured but I had the right machine to do well » explains the teammate of Francis Bagnaia.
For the title race, the Australian expects a 100% Ducati clash: “For me it's Dovizioso, he has a lot of experience. But on Sunday he was missing something and to fight for the championship this must not happen. And then there is fabio quartararo, who is a solid driver and doesn't make many mistakes. For me, we will have to pay particular attention to both »concludes the 25-year-old pilot.
