MotoGP, Jack Miller rédige déjà son bilan 2022 : “c’était quand même une bonne année”

Jack Miller is in a good moment in his life and also in his career and nothing will make him change this feeling of fullness that emanates from it. Newly married, Grand Prix winner again this year for his last season with Ducati, he furtively appeared as a candidate for the title before, in front of his audience, Alex Marquez torpedoed him in the first part of the race by losing control of his Honda …In turn 4 which had just been named after him for this Australian Grand Prix. He didn't take it so badly, proof of a new man and a new driver.

Jack Miller had every reason to be desperately angry afterAlex Marquez violently slammed him to the ground during his Australian Grand Prix which logically meant so much to him. But the reaction of the one who leaves Ducati at the end of the year to join KTM in 2023 was different: “ after catching my breath, I headed towards the paddock… When I passed the spectators, I felt my heart and apologized he says. " My family traveled halfway across Australia to see this Grand Prix. They wanted to see an “Australian” who could keep up. But this fall upset everything. There's nothing we can do about it, such incidents are part of motorcycling ».

Jack Miller: “ I'm still happy for the team »

He adds : " it was indescribable the number of selfies I had to take over the four days, hands shakes and autographs given. They are countless! It was fantastic, I love everything, it's unique. Motorcycling is in great shape in Australia, I love this sport. It's amazing when you feel that excitement. All the fans here love MotoGP as much as I do ».

However, the course of his national race should have made him embittered since he would undoubtedly still be mathematically in contention for the title before joining this weekend the Malaysia : " my hopes were small. But do not get me wrong, things changed with the fall of Fabio and the poor performance of Aleix. Bastianini also didn't score many points in Australia. And of course my goal is to beat these guys and move up the rankings as far as possible. It's my job ».

However : " but I'm still happy for the team, we are leading the Drivers' Championship, in June we were 91 points behind… We won the constructors' championship. We will no longer let the World Team Championship be taken away from us either. It was still a good year... ". And Jack Miller is an excellent item.
