Jack Miller will have to «run for his life» in MotoGP this year; Could the australian be the «revelation» of 2024?

The rider admits to being in his best shape ever at the start of a season, but will that be enough and will it show in results?

Tests shouldn’t be interpreted by the position a rider ends up in, as the work programme is extensive and riders don’t always try to attack the times, giving preference to working on other areas, either the bike or themselves, and that’s exactly what happened in most of the australian’s work.

On the first day at Sepang he was 18th, on the second he was 15th and on the third he was 14th. After the tests, the #43 said that there was a lot to test and that the slightest change to the bike made a difference – positive or negative – but in the end the feedback was largely positive, although he wanted to work more on some areas in the future.

Testing followed at Losail, with Miller taking 14th on day 1 and 11th on day 2. At the end of the day he was happy and said that everything was pretty much settled, and he was ready for the start of the season.

The year 2024 will be decisive for the rider, as even Francesco Guidotti pointed out when he said that Miller will have to ‘push himself like perhaps never before’, implying that he already knows in advance that his future could (really) be in jeopardy, especially at a time when the vast majority of riders are ending their contracts and are free to negotiate with other teams.
