Not surprising really, the satellite bikes keep beating him!

yeah it was on the cards and a good thing for KTM i think who've lost their way a little... Irrespective of some of his bad days, he knows his shit.

So i think giving him a ride can only help, especially as the non-factory KTM riders are proper proper finding it hard at the moment.

Be interesting. Miller isn't and has never been a title contender IMO esp as he seems content publicly to be no.2 which none of the top riders would ever admit to. However he's been around a while and can hopefully bring some experience to KTM which they probably need. I had hoped KTM turned a corner but not got up to much this year.

IMO MotoGP needs a good kick in the bollocks, it's rapidly becoming Ducati Cup.

Fab Frog and A Spag didn't get the memo.

Miller has never been a title contender and has had his chance in MotoGP. I'm a fan of his but not sure why tbh lol

I didn't like him at first, I think it was the whole daddy is paying for me to be here thing.

But then he got some attitude, told it how it was and liked a party.

I don't pretend to know whether JM is a nice chap or not,or if it even matters. I do know anyone who has reached his level needs to have great drive,self belief and has made big sacrifices,that's even before you begin to discuss talent.

The percentages at work in top level racing are tiny and only a very few are even more special again.

He'll probably do ok at KTM,he can obviously ride a bike,but unless some magical chemistry happens between him and the bike he'll likely be a a similar level as with the Ducati. If they get a little more from the KTM,of course.

You so nearly wrote my post for me. I've corrected it. Let's be honest, it's Red Bull money that's keeping him on the grid.

*Assuming he hasn't changed in the few years since I've had to deal with him.

Yeah Esp in Moto 3 he was a class A twat and yet BT Sport was so up his arse and I couldn't understand it. I was so glad A Marqeuz beat him to the title that year.

He's not Italian. The factory team will want 2 x Italians for next year I reckon.
For me, he makes the MotoGP paddock more interesting than most of the robots and he always wins prize for the best stoppies coming in at the end of Each FP.

I wish him luck. If the reports of him being a great team player are true, KTM may get a good return on investment out of him.
