A MotoGP race winner with Honda and Ducati, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller is aiming to join 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales in winning with three different manufacturers.

However, the KTM rider haꦜs endured a difficult start to 2024 and has been out-performed by rookie senꦅsation Pedro Acosta.

The reig🌸ning Moto2 world champion has been nothing short of brilliant, beating the likes of Miller and Brad Binder on multiple ocওcasions.

Acosta is rumoured to be♓ close to replacing Miller at the Red Bull KTM team, thus Miller could be looking for another ride come 2025.

So what are Miller’s options?

A move to GASGAS

While Miller won’t want a move away from a factory team, the Aust🎉ralian would receive the latest-spec RC16 in a team that has regularly shown its competitiveness.

Miller has a good relationship with KTM and so a switch to GASGAS would allow him to continue his journey in MotoGP with the Austrian brand, while giving the satellite t🥃eam a big-name rider with valuable experience.

GASGAS, led by Herve Poncharal, also appears to be a very well-run team that creates a good environment for its riders to perform, something that could appeal to Mill💙er who is one of the biggest personalities in MotoGP.

Test rider role at KTM

As with Pol Espargaro, Miller 𒅌could opt for a test rider role but the 29-year-old will likely see that as a last resor▨t.

Miller has dem🥀onstrated on several occasions how competitive he can be, and if a team wants to sign him they would be getting a rider who is potentially yet to reach his peak.

With KTM also possessing arguably the best test rider line-up in Dani Pedrosa and Pol Espargaro, chances of a move into that type of role with𒀰 KTM would be slim.

Switch to WorldSBK

While a switch away from MotoGP to WorldSBK would be a step back for the Australian, the ꦯlevel of talent in WorldSBK has become the main reꦡason as to why the series is more competitive than it has ever been.

Racing in WoꦫrldSBK is just as good as MotoGP on occasion, and with the likes of Ducati and Yamaha likely to be interested in Miller and able to offer very competitive packages, the KTM rider could find himself in a position where he’s fighting for regular race wins and championships.

Several🧜 riders have made the switch from MotoGP to WorldSBK in recent seasons with huge success, and Miller could be the latest if he was to choose that path.

Moving to another MotoGP factory team

A factory seat at Ducati, Aprilia and Yamaha don’t se🧸em to be options for Miller, however, it is unclear whether Joan Mir will stay at Repsol Honda.

Miller could therefore be a very realistic option for t💫he Japanese brand, who need as many top level r🍸iders as possible to bring themselves back into contention.

Miller has experience riding a Honda in MotoGP and although leaving KTM for the RC213V wou𓃲ld likely result in a loss of performance, Repsol Honda could provide Miller with the only chance of remaining a factory rider.

Satellite options

Trackhꦚouse Racing - Joe Roberts has been heavily linked with the American team following his hot start to the 2024 Moto2 season, and if the Aprilia team was looking to complete an overhaul to its team, Miller could move in alongside the American.

LCR Honda - If the Japanese brand continues with Joan Mir and Luca Marini, Miller could opt to 𒊎join Honda with the LCR outfit as Takaaki Nakagami is unlikely to survive another season.

Yamaha - With Pramac potentially moving on from Ducati to supply Yamaha with two satellite bikes, signing Miller could be a bﷺig coup for the team, as a move to the Monster Yamaha team is unlikely after they re-signed Fabioꦐ Quartararo and appear content with Alex Rins.
