After a difficult couple of rounds at Misano and Buddh, Miller♛ has been in better form coming into his home round.

The Australian🌃 is still struggling to match team-mate Brad Binder, but with Phillip Island so often producing unlikely winners/podium finishers, Miller could b🌃e one to consider this weekend.

“Looking forward to racing back here, coming♛ back to the island is always nice,” 𝐆said Miller. “Good to be back on home soil, first race with KTM here. 

“The bike has been working well as of late, I’m feeling comfortable. I’m looking forward to trying to challenge these boyꦦs."

Speaking in particular about the last two rounds, Miller was pleased with his performances given the differenceဣ in g༒rip and weather.

Miller said: “The grip leve♐l at Motegi is extremely high, and in Indonesಌia it wasn’t. We had a great feeling in both locations.

“In Motegi we had great♏ pace in the dry, the race was cut short when I had more to give. 

“Indonesia was our best showing in terms of low-grip tracks. I am quietly confident this weekend but there are a lot of ♑fast guys!”

Miller chooses to be the Hulk

After seeing Maverick Vinales don an unusual costume on the podium at Mandalika, Miller was asked what superhero he would choose to be if he staꦅnds on the podium this weekend.

Speaking in the pre-even press conferen❀ce, Miller joked: “Hulk - tha🐬t’s a good one for me!”

Useไd to flying the Australian flag in MotoGP on his own, Miller was also asked about the progress of young Aussie talent.

Senna Agius is the ꦕonly Australian in Moto2, while there is expected to be two in Moto3 nex🉐t season, including regular Joel Kelso.

That said, Miller called it ‘tough’ to make an impact in the MotoGP paddock for Australian riders: “T💎here are guys coming through. It’s always been tough. There have always been a lack of Aussies. 

“But we’ve always had, more o♕r less, somebody. It’s always the way - it’s a long way away from the rest of the world. But there is young talent. 

“Now, more than ever, with the A𓆏sia Talent Cup and Rookies Cup, it’s easier to get to the grand prix.”
