Jack Miller’s outlook on KTM’s developmental progress
Jack Miller: “I feel more confident going i♒nto rac𝓰ing 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 dur﷽ing the three-day preseason Sepang test, along with Aprilia, by using bold aerodynamics.
And Pedro Acosta, the prodigious rookie with Tech3 GASGAS, shone particularly on the♓ openinꩲg day to raise optimism within the KTM camp.
Factory rider Miller said: “The bike is working pretty well. I’m really ha𝓡ppy with the improvements we’v𝔉e made throughout the winter.
“I did the fastest lap that I’ve ever๊ done, around here.
“Still a second off the othℱer boys, so we need to find a little bit more. But we’ll find it come race time.
“I feel more confident go♏ing into racing this year than I did last year.
“We were able to iron out some of the things that we needed 🅠to, to understand the package going forward.
“Another positive day. I’m keen for a sl𝔍eep, to reflect on this test, and understand where I can find another second!”
Miller confirmed that KTM have almost fi🐻nalised the set-up for the bike which will begin the MotoGP season.
“Pretty much, we know what we want,” he sa🐷🌌id. “Some version of it. We’ve tried countless version this week.
“We have a clear understanding. We knowᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ where we’re going.
“In terms of electronics, whatever we’🌟ve brought h⛄as been a big improvement.
“There are still things to iron 🃏out with it, obviously being a new system.
“But it’s working really well.”

Miller said about similarities to the 2023 bike: “The engin༒e is pretty similar.
“We 🔴didn’t need to reinvent the wheel when it c💞omes to an engine.
“Our engine was quite strong. It needed polishing. And that’s what they🃏 wer🍎e able to do.”
But not everything is perfect.
“My weakness today? 🔴When I wanted to put a time attack together, putting the rea𒁃r in shape,” Miller said on Thursday.
“I had countless highside moments.
“It just comes down to… there🌠 are variables. Lean angle, position. You feel like you are driving really w🌠ell, but all of a sudden you pick the bike up and the grip goes away.
“It’s all to do with electronics.”
Miller finished 11th last year, his first since 𓆏swapping Ducati for KTM.
But heꦦ trailed teammate Brad Binder who was an outsider in the title battle before finishing f🍌ourth.
The pressure will ramp up, particularly on Miller, with the arrivജal of Acosta into👍 the premier class.
Miller ended⛎ Thursday, the last day of the Sepang test, 14th-quickest.
MotoGP will head to Qatar for a two-day test, the last chance for KTM to finalise how they wil❀l begin the season, before the first round in the same location on March 8-10.
