Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin’s title battle this🧜 year has been the best since 2015.

🍃That’s according to Jack Miller who also shared the grid with Jorge Lorenzo, Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez during their legendary skirmish nine years ago.

Lorenz🐬o emerged as the champion in 2015, edging a fuming Rossi who blamed Marquez for his inability to win the title. The grudge remains to this day.

But Martin and Bagnaia’s battles thi♕s season have also been epic, Miller says.

“Oܫbviously since the Marc reign has gone away over the past couple of years, this is probably the best one that we’ve had,” the KTM rider claimed.

“T🐼he Pecco and Fabio Quartar💖aro one was pretty cool, as well.

“But this is definitely, by far, if we’re talking about title races, theꦏ best since Vale and Jor෴ge in 2015.

“This🃏 is the best one we’ve seen in nearly 10 years.

“I am sure it will ﷺget🅰 closer and closer as the years go on.

“Next year will ♕be interesꩵting, with Marc on a factory bike and a lot of changes in the off-season.

“The championship is getting closer and closer.

“But [Bagnaia and Martin] ar🦹e in a league of their bloody own!

“All you’ve got to do is look at the race in Sepang, to see how ꧒far in front those two were going.”

Martin is 24 points cl♍ear of Bagnaia heading into the last spri𒁏nt race and grand prix.

If he wins the sprint🍸 race on Saturday, he wil🌠l confirm a maiden title.

It will also rep♑resent a victory for Pramac t💝eam, a satellite team beating the manufacturer they belong to.

Miller’s last race for KTM

Miller lo꧒st his factory KTM seat for 2025 to Pedro Aco☂sta. The manufacturer then opted to name a new-look duo of Enea Bastianini and Maverick Vinales for next year’s rebranded Tech3 team.

Miller foun𝓡d a rꦕeprieve with Pramac, who will become a Yamaha satellite team in 2025.

He said about his🌞 last round with KTM this weekend in Barcelona: “I’ve done this multip🅷le times now.

“I am looking forward to finishing strong.

“I have꧙ a good relationship with all of my crew. I’ve worked with him for seven years, it’s a long time to work with a single individual.

“There will be som𒁃e emotions, for sure. But when one ꧅door closes, another opens in this business.

“The beauty is that this paddock is f****** small𒈔 so we’ll see him more than enough in the next year!”
