The hugely popular veteran is carrying the torch once held by Wayne Gardner, Mick Dooh🔯an and Casey St𝓀oner.

A premier class championship for the KTM rider would solidify his name among the ౠlegends who came before him.

“Jack is a very talented rider and is a great ambassador for Australia,” Gardner told Motosan. 

“He a🅘lwa🥂ys jokes, very typical among Australians. His presence is great for the sport, I think people watch the races to see it. And not just Australians, but other nationalities. 

“He is also a very fast rider. I think he is doing very well on the new KTM, which is very different from last y🎃ear. 

“I think he is doing a great job tog𝕴ether with his teammate🍰 Brad Binder. Binder is also phenomenal, one of the best riders in the entire championship. 

“I think J🦩ack will win a lo💝t of races and do a great job."

Miller currently sits s☂eventh in the MotoGP standings.

The format change this𓄧 season, the addition of a sprint race at every round,🍎 remains a talking point.

“It is very good for television, for the fan♛s,” Gardner said. 

“It's a gre🍌at idea, similar to what F1 is doing. 

“I think itꦅ works, but the problem is that the bikes are too fast, too refined and difficult. 

“I think the riders have to be very in tune with the bikes and it's very easy to go too far because they a🌠re very precise.&nbs🎐p;

“If you're going to have 🐟this format, I think the bikes should be limited a bit.&nbs✱p;

“From aꦰn entertainment standpoint, they're doing the right thing; from a racing perspecti⛦ve, they should make it less dangerous."

Gardner has joined Stꦗoner in criticising the aerodynamic direction t🅠hat modern MotoGP has taken.

“If♑ you had asked me this 20 years ago, I probably would have told you that bikes didn't need💧 to be changed at all,” Gardner added.

“However, one of the reasons the Japane🗹se are involved in manufacturing is that they brought a lot of technology into the industry and thꦜat's a good thing when it comes to safety. 

“Of course, today the motorcycles have much more power and 🅘are heavier, and to control the forces of the motorcycle, wings and other tools are needed. 

“In my opinion, everything is too much. 

“But the problem is that the manufacturers want this, because it is wha💟t sells, it has become a fashion. 

“Personally, I would like to see a more basic package without going too d🔯eep into the technology, keep it simple.”
