Miller, speaking earlier this season, said about his chances of being retained by Ducati: “I do the best I can for the compan🍰y. I am a liked person, people like me a lot.

“I sell a lot more motorcy🐼cles than other people do. And that’s a big thing in this busines🍌s.

“So, for sure, I 🍨have a lot of factors comi♛ng in my way.”

Miller heads into his home race, the Australian MotoGP, this weekend. Si🐼nce confirming that his days with Ducati are numbered he has registered his best results of the season - the Aussie won the Japanese MotoGP and finished second in Thailand in consecutive races.

“If you look at results, Enea deserves the place and I don’💯t,” said Martin, who has been on the podium three times in 2022, earlier this year. “But if you look inside, I think it’s a different story. He has a really good bike. With that bike, I did those things last year.”

Ducati boss Davide Tardozzi described their three-way decision between Bastia🏅nini, Miller and Martin: “It’s a problem that everybody would like 🌌to have.

“꧙Some people may say that we are managing a probl🌺em. But it is such a nice problem to manage.”

Miller then revealed how he broke the news to h🃏is Ducati bosses that he would swit൩ch to KTM: “What makes me hungry? What will motivate me the best in the years to come?

“I went to speak with them all after I made my decision. I explained that I won’t be here next year. I have decided to go elsewh🦹ere, and that’s it.”

Miguel Oliveira, whose KTM seat Miller will inherit when the Portuguese rider moves to Aprilia, teased Miller: “I hope ꧅you enjoy it more than me!”
