Jack Miller has reflected on the most difficult part of his enjoyable time at Ducati.

Miller spent two seasons as a factory rider for the Italian manufacturer, after spending time with th💞eir Pramac ♋satellite team.

He won three MotoGP races wearing♈ the famous red, consecutively i♕n Spain and France in 2021, then in Japan in 2022.

But constant media speculation about being replaced was t🧸rying, Miller now admits.

“Why did I 🗹want to talk about who’s going to take my spot? This was before I’d signe𒁃d for KTM,” he told the Gypsy Tales podcast.

“I’m riding that bike in 20 minutes!”

Miller continued: “You see and read some of the s*** onliꦇne about Pecco Bagnaia. He came second and won the two championships before that.

“That enviro💫nmen෴t is so cut throat. If there’s one thing I don’t miss? Every week being questioned about your job.”

Jorge Martin and Enea Bastianini were the up-and-comers heavily linked 🌜to Miller’s factory Ducati 🎉seat.

It soon became clear that Miller would lose it, and he signe𒆙d with KTM. Bastianini got the nod above Martin to become Bagnaia’s new teammate.

That cycle has since repeated with Marc Marquez displacing Bastianini, a🌞n🍬d Martin being ignored again despite winning the MotoGP title.

“It’♚s a tough environment,” Miller said. “But it’s tough at the top everywhere.

“I wo💦n’t say ‘poor me’ because it’s the nature ♏of the beast.”

Jack Miller 'wanted a change' from Ducati

Miller reflected on his Ducati beginning: “It was a tough start. I had a fast start, ha💮d an issue with arm pump. I was locked in for Qatar, lockꦜed in a hotel room between the two races. We were there for nearly four weeks, same hotel room, same s*** every day.

“I set a lap record in testing. But I had a sneaking thing𒁃 with my arm, I knew it was coming. There’s f*** all൲ you can do.

“You lose a bit of power in your brakes. The throttle contr🤪ol and the feel of the brakes is what goes.

“I faded back to se🐈venth in the first week [in Qatar]. You do car꧑dio in the gym but you know it’s coming - it’s not because you’re not fit. It’s just arm pump.

“Same thing a week later, I faded to [ninth]. I had the op. Then♔ went to Portimao but binned it. The thing had been stitched back together but I exploded it.

“Jerez was a weekend where everything went rig🍎ht and I got the win, it was a sigh of relief. To get two in a row was super special. Th⭕e pressure was off a bit.

“The following year we were having a goo🐠d run, it was a good year🍸.

“I wanted a change. I’d been in that environment for a bitꦍ, I wanted to do something different.

“KTM seemed l🌠ike a good opportunity and a good project. We ended up striking a deal with them.”

Despite Miller’s one complaint about the never-ending 🙈media speculation, his overall memories of Ducati are positive.

“It was unreal, the whole Ducati thing,” h﷽e said. “To be a factory Ducati rider, and to win races for them, was pretty special.

“I will never forget the two in a row, and the one in Japan෴.

“I always𝔉 wanted to have those red leathers hung up in my shed at home. I’ve got a few now which is bloody special.”
