Jack Miller was hired by Red Bull KTM in MotoGP in 2023, moving from Ducati, which was emerging as a dominant force in the championship. However, at Mattighofen, the rider did not achieve the expected results and is left without a place for 2025 – not remaining in the long-term project as he had hoped.
The Australian declined to talk about fairness, acknowledging in an interview with PecinoGP that results are what truly matter in MotoGP, and so far, the results have not been as expected:
– Fairness doesn’t count in this world. At the end of the day, people are spending millions of dollares and they want results. You can believe one way or another, but at the end of the day the results is what’s most important. We haven’t been getting the correct results, but I felt like we were working together on a common goal to try and achieve those results and achieve something better moving forward. Plans change, people change, and I respect that as well.
Developing a bike in MotoGP takes time, and Miller had hoped to be part of KTM for a longer period. Even though he is leaving, he emphasized that he sees a successful future for the manufacturer: ‘I didn’t sign up to the project for only two years, because it’s like this when you are developing something and you’re trying to achieve something great. Ducati didn’t achieve what they have done in the space of nine years. KTM have not even been in MotoGP nine years. I think they’re doing pretty well and they will continue to get better, but without me in these plans’.
