Jack Miller has no filters, for better or for worse he always says what he thinks and is not afraid to take responsibility for his words. Yesterday, at the Sachsenring, after joking about the "Ducati sandwich" he found himself in (he was the only one riding a bike other than the Desmosedici who finished the race in the top 9), he exploded with rage.
The reason? Riders who complain about the bike they ride. Jack aimed his arrows at them, and he didn't go lightly.
"We're [KTM] the only ones not complaining about our motorcycles and we're actually trying to do something about it to fix it. All they do is throw their toys out of their cot and say 'my bike is shit'. It's simple as that” he declared.
Then he blurted out: “Why are they shit? Because they kicked 99% of their engineers to get his engineers, his guys in there, and now they're f****d and he can't even make it past a lap. So, it's their own doing. Everyone wants to complain about their own bikes, nobody wants to do anything about it.”
The concept is clear enough, but Miller certainly wasn’t afraid to get to the point: "Shut the f*** up and get on with the job. You're paid to ride a motorcycle, not to be a f*****g princess and complain about your bike" was his invitation, if we care to call it that.
Who exactly was his criticism aimed at? He didn't say, but apart from the Ducati riders who have nothing to complain about and the KTM riders who he saved... there are many targets. From Marquez to Quartararo, passing through Aleix Espargarò. You’re spoilt for choice.
