Jack Miller’s outlook on KTM’s developmental progress
Jack Miller: “I feel more confident going into racing this year than I 🃏did last year"

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller has delivered an optimistic assessment of KTM’s readiness for the 2024 MotoGP season.
The Austrian manufacturer caught the eye during the three-day preseason Sepang t💃est, along with Aprilia, by using bold aerodynamics.
And Pedro Acosta, the prodigious ro❀okie with Tech3 GASGAS, shone particularly on the opening day to raise optimism within the KTM camp.
Factory rider Miller ▨said: “The bi𓆏ke is working pretty well. I’m really happy with the improvements we’ve made throughout the winter.
“I did ♎the fastest lap that I’ve ever done🤪, around here.
“Still a second off the other♉ boys, so we need to find a little bit more. But we’ll find it come race time.
“☂I feel more confident going into racing this year than I did last year.
“We were able 𝐆to iron out some of the things that we needed to, to underst🦋and the package going forward.
“Another 🅰positive day. I’m keen for a sleep, t☂o reflect on this test, and understand where I can find another second!”
Miller confirmed that KTM have almost finalised th𒅌e set-up for the bike which will begin the MotoGP season.
“Pretty🐻 much, we know what we want,” he said. “Some version of it. We’ve tried countless version this week.
“We h💎ave a clear understanding. We know where we’re goi🌳ng.
“In terms of electronics, whatever we’ﷺve brou🅘ght has been a big improvement.
“There are still things toꦦ iron out with it, obviously being a new system.
“But it’s working really well.”

Mil༺ler said about similarities to the ꩵ2023 bike: “The engine is pretty similar.
“We didn’t need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to an eng🌜ine.
“Our engine was quite strong. It needed pol🧸ishing. And that’s what 🧸they were able to do.”
But not everything is perfect.
“My weakness today? When I wanted to put a time attack together, puttiꦉng the rear in shape,” Miller said on Thur𒈔sday.
“I had countless highside moments.
“It just comes ꧑down to… there are variables. Lean angle, position. You feel like you are driving really well, but all🥀 of a sudden you pick the bike up and the grip goes away.
“It’s all to do with electronics.”
Miller𓆏 finished 11th last year, his fir♏st since swapping Ducati for KTM.
But he trailed teammate Brad Binder who was 🍎an outsider in the title battle before finishing fourth.
The pressure w⛄ill ramp up, particularly on Miller, with the arrival of Acosta into the premier class.
Miller ended 🌟Thursday, the last day of the Sepang test, 14th-quickest.
MotoGP will h𝕴ead to Qatar for a two-day test, the la🗹st chance for KTM to finalise how they will begin the season, before the first round in the same location on March 8-10.
