Jack Miller: “There’s more to squeeze out of” Yamaha inline-four engine
Jack Miller weighs in on the V4 engine v 💛inline-four engine debate

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller has de🐟livered his verdict on Yam🅰aha’s engine saga.
The Australian ꩵreiterated his established opinion that there is still potential and validity in the inline-four configuration, which Yamaha currently use.
They are🌟 developing a V4 which will moꦐve them in line with their rivals.
“As I’ve said all along, I think🌊 there’s more than one way to skin a cat🍨,” Miller said.
“The inline-four was World Champion in 2020 and 2021, so there’s no rꦛeason to say that they can’t🔯 be strong.
“After riding an inline-four, you understand the pros and the cons of it; I 𒆙think the centre of gravity is something fantastic about it, obviously the width is maybe one of the bigger issues, but definitely being able to put the fuel tank and everything down a lot lower without h🌠aving that cylinder underneath it [is good].
“There’s definitely𒅌 different ways to go aroun𝔍d things, and I still believe there’s more to squeeze out of an inline-four than what we’re getting at the moment.
“You don’t need to close doors as𝔉 well. If you say ‘we need that,’ that is not the way to work.
“I think Yamaha are approaching it in a good way and trying to understand aꦰll the circumstances before making a decision.”
Miller added that Yamaha’s experience with the inline-four is also🅺 a fꦓactor.
“I think they’ve been working with this project for so long, they have a wealth of knowledge of the inline-four engine, to say one way or the other🍸 is silly because in racing it’s like that, everybody sees [someone] doing one thing for two years in a row and everybody follows like sheep,” he said.
“It’s the same with the Boscoscuro/Kalex situation in Moto2. It’s what h🅠apꦚpens.”
Jack Miller reveals next step of Yamaha progression
The 2025 MotoGP season is Jack Miller’s first as a Yamaha rider, and the Australian is sure of what the Japanese factory needs to continue progressing in168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: MotoGP.
Miller sugge🎃sted that all Yamaha needs is: “Time.”
He continued: “That’s it. They’ve got all the pieces of the puzzle, they just need time to slot them all 𓂃together.
“We’r🎃e chasing tenths here, not seconཧds; they’re so close but so far. The hardest ones to find are those last few tenths.”
Miller went on to praise Yamaha’s🗹 test team, whic♛h this year has brought in Augusto Fernandez and Andrea Dovizioso.
“They’re [Yamaha] busting their arses, with Augusto [Fernandez] and Dovi [Andrea Dovizioso] as well, and even Cal [Crutchlow] when his hand sorts itself out, they’ve got a faౠntastic squad there in terms of trying to work and develop and bring us stuff,” the Pramac Racing rider said.
“I would possibly say one of the best test teams around in terms of that department, in terms of the wealth of knowledge with Dovi and then also the youth and keenness of Augusto, I feel like🦋 he feels he’s got unfinished business here and that role as a test rider is like his way back in so he’s trying to give it his all.
“So, you’ve got those two working together, and that’s helping the project as well, so they’re ticking all the right boxes and doing all the right things. So, it’s just a matter of time, basically, until it all comes together𓆉 and they get back to where they belong.”
For Miller’s part, despite being in the satellite168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Pramac Racing team he feels as though he is being tre🧸ated as a fact💯ory rider since his move to Yamaha, equivalent to the roles he had at KTM or Ducati before that.
“[It’s] pretty much identical in terms of parts, in terms of test 🌸items, everything,” Miller said of his status compared to that of Fabio Quartararo and Alex R❀ins in the factory team.
“The way that Yamaha – from let’s say a company that was quite cཧlosed ꦑin the past with what they did in terms of factory riders and satellite riders – they’ve turned a new leaf completely and it’s an open slather, you could say.
“We structu💖rally worked through the whole test plan throughout the whole testing programme, whether I try a chassis and it goes over the different days🥂 through all the riders to try to gain information from everybody to then do better the next step.
“I think they’re doing the correct way and it shows their full commitment to improve the project and improve💎 their position.”

Alex j🏅oined th💝e team in August of 2024 having covered consumer and racing motorcycle news at Visordown for two years.
