Things are moving forward in MotoGP as the protagonists are just settling into the Red Bull Ring. An Austrian Grand Prix which is already making the news even though no motorcycle has yet started to run on the track located in Styria. The fault of Jorge Lorenzo who, although absent, feeds the column. They want him to leave Honda to return to Ducati through Pramac. Fantasy? The one who would be the first victim, Jack Miller, thinks that there is no smoke without fire!
The Australian Jack Miller addresses this Austrian Grand Prix with a bitter taste in the mouth. However, it happens to Brno from where he came down from his second podium of the season. A positive year. But at Ducati, we seem to care. Because this sound of a Lorenzo who would take his place in 2020 at Pramac reached his ears. His comment ? He's surprising : " I think the rumors about Lorenzo are true » said Miller on Red Bull Ring at crash.net. “Of course he's looking elsewhere because he can't ride this Honda at the moment. It's easy to leave with your tail between your legs and come back ».
« I think Pramac likes me, wants to keep me, most people at Ducati want to keep me. But I have to understand why we are in Austria, in the second half of the season with two podiums under my belt, and why I still haven't signed a contract » asks the teammate bagnaia.
« The details of the contract have been seen, Pramac has agreed to everything that has been asked of them, but no contract has arrived yet. We'll wait and all I can do is keep doing my best " precise Miller. " This is my first year with the latest hardware in MotoGP and it's the most competitive era ever. I had two podiums and found myself in front of these guys on several occasions. I feel like I'm doing everything I can so I can get a job. I'm not stressed at all ».
As Pramac riders' contracts are concluded directly with Ducati, it is the factory which has the last word within the satellite team. Miller said : " the majority, almost everyone at Ducati wants to keep me. Some people have fond memories of Lorenzo...but like I said, I'm not stressed. I'm just here to do my job ».
The general manager of Ducati Corse, Gigi Dall'Igna, was one of the driving forces behind the signing of Lorenzo. While the title challenge Dovizioso – Ducati fades in the face of the domination of Marc Marquez, Dall'Igna could he think that Ducati needs Lorenzo as much as he needs them?
Si Lorenzo made his return, Miller would be offered the Ducati World Superbike factory team. Who, for his part, has difficulty signing Baptist... " I didn't think about World Superbikes. It didn't occur to me, I'm just starting to get well here and I didn't think about leaving " replied Miller.
