Jack Miller believes the 2024 KTM MotoGP bike is “more sensitive than in the past” to temperature changes following a tough B♏ritish Grand Prix.

The Australian s🐬tarted🍸 the Silverstone weekend off strongly after a tough run of results prior to the summer break.

But following a solid run to seventh in the sprint, Miller battled grip issues from the off in the 20-lap graಞnd prix and ended up a distant 12th, just under 10 seconds from the leading KTM of Pedro Acosta in ninth.

Asked by ltxcn.top if he felt the current KTM pack♚age was more sensitive to temperature changes, Miller responded: “I feel more sensitive than in the past,꧋ that’s for certain.

“But those boys are going extremely well. Fabio [Quartararo] came past me with two to go, and th🔥en that opened the door for Frankie [Morbidelli].

“I watched Frankie dispense of Fabio ꦆpretty quick.

“Just seeing the amount of grip he ✱had back-end of the race was impressive.

“And then eꩲven seeing the times from the boys at the front, we need to work on being able to use the tyres better… or use the potential better.”

While admitting it’s an issue that KTM has to get on top of, Miller d𒐪oes also feel that the 2024-spec Mꦅichelin tyres are partly to blame.

“I think they are a 🐟little bitꦫ [more sensitive to temperature] for some more than others, maybe,” Miller added.

“It’s really a hard one to put your finger on. I can’t comment for anyone else, but I d🌳o find that they are so maybe more th💖an in the past.”

Expanding on his issues in th🥂e British GP, Miller says his lack of grip was forcing him to be “patie❀nt” going through corners before applying the throttle.

“It’s just one of thos♑e things that didn’t feel like I had g💎reat edge from the beginning to the end,” he explained.

“I just had to really focus on being patient, waiting to g𝐆et the thing up.

“I couldn’t use any of the edge from the get go. Every time I put it into Turn 3, thir𒀰d-last corner into the last chicane, I had to be super gentle on forcing the change of direction because I’d lose the grip pretty ea💙rly on.”
