Jack Miller started his final part of the 2022 championship, which will also be his final phase of his career with Ducati, in style at Silverstone. The Australian, who will join KTM next year, actually climbed onto the podium of the British Grand Prix, in a general atmosphere with the red tunics as joyful and sincere as ever. There is therefore no question of giving up and leaving in style is now the stated objective of Pecco Bagnaia's teammate...
Jack Miller had taken the risk of the soft tire in this twelfth round of this MotoGP season and he was almost rewarded for his audacity before the rubber suggested to him, six laps from the goal, that a podium would be enough, rather than the victory. He thought that being heir to his leader bagnaia would be within its reach before the arrival of the rocket Casa Particular in Viñales with its Aprilia. Third, however, his performance gave him the elements to build his final objective with Ducati : “ I'm sixth in the world championship again now, so the arrow is pointing in the right direction. I tend to do better at the end of the season anyway, so it's a good sign to get a good result at a time of year when I usually struggle a bit ».
He adds on his blog : " I haven't set any goals as such for these final races for Ducati. But the main objective is really to try to do better than last year in the championship which was fourth ". And he thus evaluates the possibilities of succeeding in this enterprise: “ there is not a big gap in points, we are very close after Fabio and Aleix in front, so it is doable. If I can be consistent and fast, get the most out of the package I have under me now, I have a chance. It would be nice to end my stay here in a happy way ».
Jack Miller: “ Ducati is committed to all its riders, even to me despite my departure at the end of the year«
Because he will always be grateful to Ducati for his journey and he has no resentment at having been notified of his departure, pushed by both bastianini et Martin. Because the Borgo Panigale brand continues to play the game towards it. An approach that thus underlines Jack Miller : “ you all saw us Ducati with some interesting aerodynamic elements this weekend – the “stegosaurus” as people called it – and it shows how committed Ducati is to all its riders, even to me despite starting at the end of the year ».
« This is what Ducati does, it's in its DNA. There's nothing worse than not receiving updates or being stuck on data, so it's nice to have that feeling. This is really unusual for a factory continue to give news to the departing pilotMore they were 100% honest with me throughout and that's something I really appreciate » finishes the Australian.
