Moto GP: Aussie Jack Miller is facing an uncertain future in Moto GP, after confirmation he will be replaced at KTM.
As Jack Miller ponders his next move to extend his MotoGP tenure into an 11th season, the available gaps in the 2025 rider market matrix are disappearing – and it looks very much like a case of Honda or nothing for the 29-year-old.
“People consider the bike that you use, of course. But one thing I said before is that nobody comes out of Honda in a better way than they came in …”. Mir’s misery of the past two years – relative to what preceded them – paint a familiar picture when compared to a quartet of others who followed his path, and offer some statistical consideration for Miller and his management to contemplate.22 rounds , best result 5th, 39 total points/1.7 points per round, 22nd in 2023 championship.
Marquez still wasn’t right after repeated operations on his shoulder damaged in 2020 and looking for a way out, but Mir was mentally broken after a season where he crashed – no misprint – 24 times, missing five of the 20 rounds altogether with fractures and frayed confidence.
A spot with Honda’s second-tier satellite LCR team looked to be a berth beneath his abilities, but it paid off almost immediately when Rins won the third race of 2023 in Texas – snapping a run of 24 straight Marquez victories for the marque. After that? Rins finished once more race. When Suzuki pulled the plug on its MotoGP experiment, Honda swooped for Mir and Espargaro was deemed surplus to needs; he had one more injury-cruelled season with KTM’s second team in 2023 before Acosta took his place.56 races, 2 podiums, best result 2nd, 2 pole positions, 362 total points/6.5 points per race, 8th in 2023 championship.Marini’s first season with Honda has been spent largely riding alone at the back of the field.
