Jack Miller: ‘I love watching WorldSBK’, expects Remy Gardner to have success

Jack Miller believes Remy Gardner has what it takes to switch MotoGP for WorldSBK and become a challenger to the likes of Alvaro Bautista, Toprak Razgatlioglu and Jonathan Rea, all of whom have dominated the series in 2022.

Bautista, Razga☂tlioglu and Rea have so far shared all 33 wins betwee🌳n them this season, with new WorldSBK champion Bautista and Razgatlioglu tied on 14 each. 

Gardner will be movi𒆙ng across to the GRT Yamaha team after spending one season in MotoGP, which was a huge disappointment given his results in 2021 which saw him became Moto2 world chamᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚpion.

However, it wasn’t just Gardner who struggled as a rookie as team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Raul Fernandez and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Darryn Binder also found the premier class tough. 

Switching to the R1 which is one of the better bikes on the WorldSBK grid, Gardner should have the chance of fighting for immediate top tens, and as we’ve seen by rookies 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Iker Lecuona and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Xavi Vierge, top five finishes are likely to be there for the takin🐽g too. 

But challenging the likes of Bautista, Razgatlioglu and Rea is going to be very difficul🐎t, especially for a rookie. 

With that said, Miller beli𝄹eves his fellow countryman has the🐬 potential to do just that.

"It’s sad to see Remy leave this paddock but it’s awesome to have another Aussie get a start on a competitive bike in WorldSBK," said Miller when speaking to WorldSBK🔯.com. 

"I love watching WorldSBK, e꧒specially with the current three𝕴-race format and especially the boys at the front! 

"Hopefully Remy can gel with that bike and get up to speed and we’ll see h𝄹im battling with the likes of Toprak, Jonny anꦆd Alvaro very soon."

WorldSBK tyres ‘a lot softer’, Gardner will need to adapt according to Miller

The new factory KTM rider feels🥀 Gardner has the size and power to succeed as WorldSBK machines are heavier than MotoGP bikes.

Height is very rarely an issue in WorldSBK either as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Loris Baz, and Razgatlioglu, who are all riders over six-feet tall, have had success in the class🎃. 

Miller added: "He’s a bigger bloke and I think that having that strength and muscle around the heavier, flexible World Superbike… once he understands what the tyres are like, because they’re a lot softer than what we’re using🀅 here but I think he’ll have no qualms with coming to grips with them, I’ll be looking forward to watching him quite 𒈔closely."
