MotoGP Driver Casts Doubt On Racing Future As He Is Set To Be Replaced At KTM – ‘I Have Nothing’

MotoGP rider Jack Miller’s future in the sport is becoming more and more uncertain as the season progresses. As a factory KTM rider, Miller’s position is being taken by newcomer Pedro Acosta, a move that has left Miller without any forthcoming contract offers and considering a potential shift to the World Superbike Championship (WorldSBK).

Whilst speaking to the media ahead of the British Grand Prix, Miller commented, as quoted by Crash.net:

“It’s all rumours because, honestly speaking, at the moment I have nothing.

“Not one single contract. Could be heading home, early shower. We’ll wait and see.”

Miller’s connection to MotoGP has been long and fruitful, having raced with top-tier teams like Honda, Ducati, and KTM, where he has piloted the competitive RC16. His experience and achievements paint the picture of a rider valuable to any team, yet as the season progresses, no new contracts have materialized. This lack of recognition and diminishing opportunities in MotoGP has led him to contemplate a move to WorldSBK.

Miller continued:

“Of course. The level over there is fantastic.

“I think the championship is really cool. I love the three races. At the end of the day I love racing and three races is pretty cool.

“Never say never. I definitely felt like I had more to give here. But we’ll wait and see. I’m holding out hope until all doors are closed.

“Honestly speaking it’s not looking good. We’ll try our best to do something in the second half of the season. It’s been a good summer break but also rough.

“There’s a lot of things to take into account. And things ending.

“All good things come to an end but when it comes to an end not on your terms, which it rarely does in racing, and with what I’ve given to the sport and what I can still give to the sport, it’s a tough one.

“Like I said, it’s never over until it’s over. All I can do is try and put some good results on the board and hopefully my phone will call at some point.”

As discussions about Miller’s achievements and his undervalued potential surface, he maintains a pragmatic view, concluding:

“I don’t want to comment on that too much.

“I know what I’ve done, where I’ve come from and where I’ve been in my career, but if a team or people can’t see value in that then it is what it is.

“I can only do the best that I can do. I can’t persuade people or do anything more.”
