Jack Miller is coming to the end of his contract and does not rule out moving to Red Bull GasGas Tech3, paving the way for Pedro Acosta at Red Bull KTM. However, continuity with the Austrian manufacturer is still not a certainty at this stage.
There are few more competitive seats available. Some of them are at Aprilia and Ducati, but in both cases there are more priority options. The Australian, for his part, has been slow to show consistent performance in line with expectations since joining KTM last year.
Could the future involve leaving, instead of a move from the official team to the satellite GasGas Tech3? Speculation is that this could happen, with Honda being a potential destination. At the Japanese manufacturer, Joan Mir is coming to the end of his contract and, after two very difficult seasons with a bike far from performing well, he may say ‘enough’.
Louis Suddaby, one of the commentators on the official championship website, said during the first free practice of the Italian GP: ‘There are potentially rumors that Jack Miller could be an option for Honda next season if Joan Mir leaves. I’m not sure if it would be the right move for Jack Miller at this stage of his career, but that’s a decision for him to make and no one else’.
In his first years in MotoGP, between 2015 and 2017, Miller rode Honda bikes and it was with one that he achieved his first victory at the Dutch GP in 2016. However, he was never in the factory team, starting with LCR Honda before joining Marc VDS.
