We guessed it, we heard it and we said it: Jack Miller, deprived of a Honda factory contract by Cal Crutchlow, was slowly moving towards the Octo Pramac team which, through negotiations, offered him the same advantages at Ducati .
Just yesterday, the Australian spoke at the microphone of Fox Sports, on the rumors that were circulating about him: « The satellite Ducati works very well, its riders are still there fighting. Danilo could have won at Assen and we cannot deny it, Pramac is a good team. Between my current team and them, the level of performance is quite close to what the best satellite structure is. I will go where I can express my true potential. »
This evening, the signing with the Italian team is official and was announced on the Italian team website.
OCTO PRAMAC RACING ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT WITH JACK MILLER FOR 2018 MOTOGP SEASON
The Octo Pramac Racing team would like to announce that they have reached an agreement for 2018 with Jack Miller. The Australian rider, who will be directly under contract with Ducati, will defend the colors of the Tuscany-based team during the MotoGP World Championship aboard a Ducati Desmosedici MotoGP as teammate of Danilo Petrucci.
Born in Townsville, Queensland on January 18, 1995, Miller made his debut in the 125cc World Championship in 2011, then immediately moved to Moto3, where he finished second in the 2014 season. The Australian rider then joined MotoGP the following year and, in 2016, took his first victory at the Dutch GP in Assen.
