Under-fire Jack Miller insists “I’m past rock bottom” as MotoGP axe looms
"I’ve got 10 races left to ♒enjoy what has been my life for the past 10 or so years"
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller insists he is “trying to make th🌞e most of” what could be his final weeks as a MotoGP r🌳ider.
A despondent Miller admitted upon arrival at the British MotoGP that, after losing his 2025 KTM seat, he ha෴s “not one single contract” offer to remain next year.
Miller was fifth-fastest in Friday afternoon practice ꦑat Silverstone before referring to his uncertain situation as “somb🉐re times”.
He told medi✤a including ltxcn.top: “I’m past rock bottom. Rock bottom was about two weeks ago!
“I’m past that point now. I’ve got 10 race♐s left to enjoy what has been my life for the past 10 o🅠r so years.
“I’m trying to make the most of it.”
Seats remaining in the 2025 MotoGP rider lꦺine-up are swiftly 🐼being taken, so World Superbikes may enter the equation for Miller.
Jack Miller 'trying to build confidence'
Perhaps a heroic performance could salvage his future - and Friday at the British MotoGP was a step forward compared to the struggleℱs that the KTM endured pre-summer break.
“It wasܫ gusty. I never once fe🥂lt nervous even putting the hard fronts on, which is rare here,” Miller assessed.
“The bike works well, I put ♐a decent lap in at the end.
“It’s weird, the s🐻oft tyre. It’s working a different way. It’s gelling differently and it took almost three tyres to wrap my head around🍷 it.
“I got it sorted at the end, and I’m pr𝓀etty happy with the day.
“It makes the weekend a lot less stressful when you go straight thღrough. And we haven’t been able to say that for a while.”
Miller added: “I’m trying to build t🍌he confidence back after a really difficult period.
“The bike felt similar 🐎to what I hopped off in Germany and Assen.
“Iಌ was able to ♉go away, think about things, and put them into practice today.
“It’s ✨early doors but I feel alright. I put the lap tim🎐e in alone.
“Don’t get 🌼me wrong, we haven’t reinveꦦnted the wheel.
“There▨’s a bit of ne🧸w stuff but nothing to change the geometry.
“Here, you can’t get a perfect💛 bike because there’s so many different elements to this track. It🐲’s so bloody big!
“So you just put bandaids on everything. I don’t kno🀅w if it’s helping us but I can’t complain.”
Teammate Brad Binder was seventh in Friday practice, representing 𒊎a solid start for the manufacturer who have struggled in recent weeks.
Binder said: “This afternoon I put in the fir🦩st soft, and felt not good. I felt I🐓 wasn’t going anywhere. I was struggled to enter and exit corner.
“I kept it for two runs. The first time attack was going 𓄧quit🍨e okay, I had an issue with my ride-height device.
“I came in, and left e♕verything for t🐈he last run. Luckily I put a good lap in.
“I’ve 💎got homework to do, we need to imp♛rove a lot.
“It was 15 corners of struggling.”
Neither factory K🌸TM endured the chatter problem which has blighted them at stages of this season.
Miller said: “I f🌠eel like I haven’t had𒁃 vibrations today.”
Binder said: “Not🅠 today. It said so in the data but I didn’t feel it.”
