Jack Miller does not believe MotoGP should test at a circuit and then race there directly afterwards.
The KTM rider, who could come under intense pressure from rookie sensation Pedro Acosta regarding the factory seat in 2025, was scoreless throughout the weekend after missing out on points in the sprint race too.But refocused after a weekend off, Miller said: “Happy to be back here at Portimao. Looking forward to it, it should be a good weekend and I’m looking forward to putting Qatar behind us.“I had a good week at home regrouping, realigning to try and come here and show our full potential.
“You are not trying to set the bike up after the weekend. I am not a fan of testing before racing on the track. “But we’ll be alright though. We have made some significant improvements since Portimao last year so I’m looking forward to taking the 2024 KTM around Portimao.”A circuit that has staged exciting MotoGP races in the past, Miller believes this can be the case again although overtaking in MotoGP has become difficult no matter what track they are at, according to the Australian.
Looking to join Binder at the front this weekend, Miller admitted the mistake in the grand prix was ‘my fault’, but that he knows what he’s capable of.

Marini Surprised to Find Miller Behind Him in MotoGP RaceAfter qualifying ahead of only Franco Morbidelli, then finishing 21st and last in the Sprint, Marini was briefly 19th on the opening lap of the grand prix. But the trio behind soon overtook, leaving Marini surprised to find out that another rider was still behind him.The rider in question was Red Bull KTM’s Jack Miller, who crashed out of the top ten at the start of lap 2, before catching back up to Marini by lap 10 of 21.“I let him pass and tried to follow him, also to not take any risk going below with the tyre pressure ,” Marini said. “I tried to understand something behind him, because the KTM now is really strong and has improved a lot from last year. “I think that something positive comes in my mind, and it's clear for me what we need to do, but we need a little bit of time to try more fixes.”Marini spent seven laps behind Miller before re-passing the Australian and, although Miller lamented that he was losing the front and rear whenever he tried to push, Marini still spotted a clear grip difference over the Honda
