Definitely in low spirits for being handed his sandwiches in a roadmap in favour of the young talent of the GasGas Tech 3 team Pedro Acosta, Jack Miller faced the media for the first time in this Assen weekend, with all his expected honesty, but he did not hide his disappointment for being sidelined, in his opinion, a bit treacherously by the Austrian manufacturer.
"What have I been doing these days off? Last week I participated in an event at the Salzburgring , then I came to Holland to do some motocross. In the end I only rested on Wednesday and now I feel recharged to face the weekend," he began before talking about the news regarding 2025.
"I am the first to be disappointed, but we still have fourteen races ahead of us and I will have to try to deal with them as best I can," were his words, "The positive aspect is that I have options. I personally feel that I still have something to give and I would really like to stay in MotoGP for a while longer. Now I will just have to try to figure out what I want to do and where I want to go. My luck is that I haven't burned any bridges, so I have several possibilities in front of me. I am consistently in the top 10, so I will choose the best project. Then again, the premier class still remains my dream, and now clearly I am disappointed that I was not able to accomplish what I set out to do at the beginning of the season."
The frustration at being cut from the team is obviously great. "They were telling me they wanted to keep me in the family and then you get a phone call just three hours before the press release gets launched saying that you're not getting a contract. I was surprised, but it is what it is, but as I said to them, I didn't come to this project to be in and out in two years. To come over here I left what was probably the most competitive bike on the grid, and I feel like last year, what we were able to bring already to improve the bike to a certain level was a big addition. This was not what I expected, but as they say when a door closes another one opens, and my desire remains to bring home at least one win, so that I have made it with all the manufacturers I raced for," he confided.
In spite of the events, nothing will change between now and the end of the year. "My attitude will be professional until Valencia," said the Australian, in any case incredulous and bitter, " Rome was not built in a day and to become strong takes time, but evidently the management had other plans and I have to accept it. As for me, even with a motorcycle not at its best I am continuing to give 100 percent."
The future remains, at least for now, a question mark. "For my future I don't want to rely on my character or popularity as a person, but on the talent I have as a motorcyclist. Where will I go? At the moment, it's all been talk, obviously in terms of obviously going to Ducati is very interesting because I know the bike very well, I know the structure very well. But a lot of things are changing in MotoGP come '27. So that's one of those things we need to weigh up, I have money in my account, so it's not about that, it's what I want for my career. For the moment I can't put myself in the realm of test rider, because I don't think of myself as one. I enjoy this too much, I do it and enjoy it because youa re working towards a goal. Going round and round in circles on a motorcycle doesen't excite me. Competing with 22 other bikes is what I'm here for," he quipped determinedly.
