Jack Miller’s warning to Ducati: “KTM second on the list, soon to be first”
“If you had a fairy godmother and a wish, if you weren't ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚable to get the red bike, I'm 🅘pretty sure [KTM] would be second on the list. Soon it’ll be first.”

Haunted for two and half months by his exit from the lead of the Valencia finale, KTM’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Miller will continue his quest to become168澳洲5最新开奖结果: MotoGP’s first race winner on 🌺three different brands of bike in 2024.
After a mid-season lull, the Australian looked p🐼oised for a perfect end to his debut RC16 season, moving into the Valencia lead after team-ꩵmate Brad Binder ran wide.
But Miller lost the front of his orange machine at t🅘he same corner five laps later, ending his and KTM’s final chance of a 2023 Grand Prix victory.
“Well, I was ready to win in Va🙈lencia, but sadly we all know how that ended,” Miller said of ꧋his 2024 goals at today’s team launch.
“I've only been🌜 thinking about that for the last tw𒅌o and a half months!”
The Australian added: “W♈e got close there on 🍎the last day, but it wasn’t to be.
“But de✅finitely the way 2023 sort-of ended left me so hungry over this winter, eager to come back and achieve the goal I set last year: to become the first to win on three [bikes] and the third [rider to win] on𝓡 a KTM.”
KTM motorsports director Pit Beirer believes, after finishing second best to Ducati in the riders and constructors'🔜 standings last season, the factory now has everything in place to push for world championship glory.
“I think they've [KTM] has done a fantastic job in the last couple of years, especially last year,” s❀aid Miller, w🌌ho joined the team as a double race winner at Ducati.
“We only have to look back 24 months ago to where the position of the bike was and so on. And [now] to have it as one of the most wanted bikes on the grid… I think if you had your fairy godm🍨other and a wish, if you weren't able to get the red bike, I'm pretty sure [KTM] would be the second on the list. And soon it’ll be the first.
“They've done a fantastic job in such a short amount of time in terms of their MotoGP h♔istory. If you look at the red bikes, between 2007 and 2022, those two championships, it's a long time. And if you look at the history of KTM, their first full season was [2017], so where ♓they are in such a short amount of time is amazing.
“I think it'll just continue to get bꦕetter. Brad had an amazing year last year and we had some great results from all of us on our days, whether it be myself, Brad o♈r Augusto. And even Pol.
♚“We were able to bring home second in the constructors’ title against a brand that's got eight bikes on the grid and we o🐭nly have four. So we did fantastic there and I think this year we do even better. Myself personally for sure!"
Quizzed abou😼t the new Red Bull KTM livery l🍒ooking identical to last season, Miller quipped: "It looked good last year, so why not?
"My bo🌟ots and helmet have chaꦇnged a little bit though. I just wanted to switch it up a little bit and picking the year is a little bit easier!
"Many times in my career I've kind of h♏ad the same [looking] bikes, whether it be Marc VDS, Pramac and even [factory] Ducati."
Miller wꦬas 14th but within 1.2s of former Ducati team-mate and reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia at the recent Sepang test. The final pre-season test takes place in Qatar on February 19-20.
"The Sepang test went well, happy with the bike and keen to get back on it again. I think we're all at the stage now where we're pretty keen 𒁏to go racing."
The new season starts in Qatar on March 8-10.
