Rins will exit LCR Honda and move alongside Fabio Qua🧸r♔tararo as one of Yamaha’s two riders for the 2024 season, his second factory role after representing Suzuki only last season.

Miller, who was also a satellite Honda ri🥂der until moving to Ducati in 2018, then landing their factory seat in 2021, appreciates the lure of one of MotoGP’s more prestigious bikes.

Asked if he understo𓂃od Rins’ decision having done similarly, Miller said🐷: “To a degree. But, I mean, the situations were different.

“I was a B-cust♉omer with the [Marc VDS Racing Team]. Then the first year at LCR was complet𝔍ely different.

“I saw how they were with Cal Crutchlow. They were very open, they used him quit🅺e a considerable amo🤡unt in terms of testing and giving him parts.

“But when that factory seats comes knocking…

“You don’t 🥃often get two bites at the apple, going from a factory to a satellite team then gettꦇing another chance at a factory.

“So when that opportunity arose I assume he🔯 grabbed it with both hands.”

Miller and Brad Binder, KTM’s fact🧔ory duo, have been the riders to most consistently threaten the dominant Ducatis this season.

This weekend at the British Moto🗹GP, Miller returns to the scene wher𒁃e he scored a podium finish on a Ducati last year.

“It’s probabl🍌y one of the better ones on the calendar,” he said ܫabout the Silverstone circuit.

“You can never get the perfect set-up here ൲because there are hard-braking zoไnes and fast-flowing corners.

“When it♒’s like that, like Jerez, we’re better-off. Not too much load on the front, hard braking on the straightꦰ. When you don’t need the perfect set-up, it’s better for us.”

New rules have been brought in♍ to 𒊎begin from this weekend, including regarding tyre pressure.

The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System will give a first-time offender a warning, before a three-second time penalty fo✨r a second offence, a six-second time penalty for a third offence, and a 12-second time penalty for a fourth offence.

“I know, from the Du🍸cati, that it was 💫more critical. I don’t notice it as much on the KTM,” Miller said.

“Chatting to the engineers and understanding their feedback, I had concern wh💯en I heard about the rules and penalties. They were reassuring, they said ‘don’t worry about it’. Fingers crossed, they are right.

“We should be inside that window, no dramas.

“I know that the Ducati functioned well o🍌n low tyre pressure, whereas ours doesn’t. The KTM uses the front tyre in a different way.

“Having it so low doesn’t give us the benefit.

“We’ll have to wait and see how much it🍬 affects the other♓ bikes.”
