The Australian has been experimenting with ‘rotating’ more weight onto the rear of the RC16 i🐬n recent events, bringing him in line ꧂with the other riders.

While it h𒆙as advantages, Miller has concluded it’s not beneficial with his ‘particular’ riding style and will go back to the kin🌺d of set-up he also preferred at Ducati.

After qualifying fourth, Miller ꧒held an early third place in both Red Bull Ring races, finishing fifth in the Sprint but fading all the way to 15th in the full-length grand prix, when the rear grip issues were fully exposed.

“I started the race well and 🎀tried not to kill the tyre in the first laps♔,” Miller said.

“But as soon as I started trying to go with Pecco and Brad, I immediately noticed that I didn't have the drive grip that I needed an🃏d then was just trying to manage the best I could…

“Short sh🍷ifting, picking the bike up and managing i📖t with the throttle. Doing what I can, but I was in the shit.

“W🅷e were struggling at the end there. I ♎was on the base rubber, a lot of spinning in a straight line.

“As you saw, all the passes [on me] came from the last corner to first corner. I had reall𒐪y low top speed not because of the engine, but because of the acceleration out of the last corner.

“An⛦d it was the same situation exiting 1, exiting 3. In a track like this, it’s nearly the whole lap. I was able to force it in the left-handers to try and catch back. But wasn't to be.”

The 28-year-old, who moved to KTM this season, explai🌌ned: “We changed the bike quite a considerable amount in Assen, trying to go in the direction of all the other guys, a little bit away from♓ my normal kind of setting, which is [more weight] on the front.

“We rotated t👍he bike to the back. And since that moment I've been struggling a lot for this: When the grip is low, we’re not able to accelerate well, we're not able to keep tಌhe tyre in the bike and I'm not able to carry the corner speed then when the tyre is starting to drop. You're relying solely on the rear tyre.

“Yes, [more weight on the rear] is giving me a good front f𓆏eeling that I can brake a little bit maybe harder, but in general I'm then braking too much toꦆ try and rely on the bike to turn.

“So I think the biggest thing for us is taking a step back, going back to oꦫur old setting and maybe finding a little bit of a different direction to work for myself.

“I have a particular rid𝓡ing style and I don't think it's working with this setting.

“We're still trying to build and understand [things with the KTM] and thജis can happen.”

🌠“Going back to the other setting, I think will be like putting on an old boot,” Miller added.

“I know that bike. It's generally how I had my Ducati set up an🧜d it was just trying something out-of-the-box w♎ith this setting.

"Like I said, we rotated it by quite a considerable amount because generally on my setting I'm a bit slower exiting faster corners. I struggle🐬 to find grip there.

“But we've tried this setting and it hasn't been the case of improving, so we'll try to go back and work in another direction, understanding that I need to be able to have this front confidence t🉐o carry the corner speed.

“And you carry that corner speed all the way to th💯e end of the straight. So that's the biggest thing.”

Miller, whose team-mate Brad Binder finished second to Francesco Bagnaia in both races, remains eighth in the world championship at the midway point🍸 of the 2023 season.
