168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Miller has been told to forget about the speculation over his MotoGP future and to bring a new “ment𝔍al approach🥀” this season by the KTM boss.

Francesco Gui🦂dotti has challenged Miller but also vowed to support him in the final year of his KTM contract꧋.

The popular Australian fought off speculation last season that he would be replaced by Pedro Acosta, but is now entering crunch time with every manufacturer scouring the market ahead 🌠of a busy silly season.

Team manager Guidot🐓ti said about the rumours over Miller’s KTM seat: “I don’t know if he really likes it or not.

“Sometimes it’s difficult🌼 to understand what he 💞has in his mind.

“He😼’s in a phase of ☂life where he has to make a big decision. It’s in his hands.

“He’s almost 30. For a rider he’s still pretty young if📖 he wants to continue at a certain level.

“But, as he said, the ♌youngers are coming very quickly.

“He needs to behave this year, perhaps as h🌸e’s never done before.

“He is the best one, in team effort. He’s the master. He’s perfect with the t🐼eam and with his teammate.

“When you reac❀h 🧸a level, it’s a matter of mental approach.

“He must be real🎉ly brave, really consistent, real🌠ly smart to use the correct mental approach this season.

“The specul🅰ation about the riders market? It has to be forgotten.

“You never know what to expect from Jack.

🌠“He’s able to d🌊o everything, and nothing, at the same time!

“Everything 📖is in his hands. We will try to support h🍌im in every way possible.

“Jack is Jack… there are few words to add…”

Last sea🔜son, Miller’s first since swapping Du൲cati for KTM, he finished 11th in the MotoGP standings.

He ☂crashed out of ♛the lead in the season-finale at Valencia to compound a disappointing year.

But meanwhile his tea🐻mmate Brad Binder soared into fourth, the highest-placed non-Ducati.

And Binder, no🎐toriously not a fan of testing, has ✨been praised by Guidotti for bringing a new attitude to Sepang this year.

“We iﷺmproved compaജred to last year,” Guidotti said.

“The approach of Brad is different to before.

“Every time you set a limit… last year he was fourth, the best result iꦐn MotoGP for him, heꦏ wants to take a step ahead.

“You always have to change something.

“The important thing is the combo. The riders’ feeling of the🌃 bike that we supply.

“We have to find the ༺best combo to constantly fight in the top tꦛhree.”

Guidotti analysed the changes Binder must make to improve upon finishing fourth: “Also, the m♊en♋tal approach and the self-confidence he can have in the season.

“He trusts the bike more, he trusts the people more, and of course he must trust himself mo꧋re.

“It’s more than speed. He showed us, during his approach at the test, it was📖 different. More mature.”

KTM, who have ambitious plans to expand upon their four-bike presenceܫ on the grid, have also welcomed the prodigious Pedro Acosta into the premier class with Tech3 GASGAS.

They could be the ♕manufacturer to most clo💖sely combat Ducati this year.

Guidotti reflected on their Sepang test: “Ten days of very intense days of t🌼esting.

“It’s always dඣifficult to say. W🌞e know, more or less, where we are.

“It’s always difficult to know where the🦋 contenders are.

“Once back on track, you can see the level.

“We moved fo💞rward but the contenders looked like they did not rest a lot during the winter.

“We have to take it day by day, and race by pace. This is the best way to face a championship✃ of 21 races.

“There 💧is always a big motivation when we start, and a bigger motivation𒊎 when we’re on the way.

“You choose this job so it is not a big sacrifice. It’s a huge motivation. 🌄We ha🐲ve a target set, we’re doing everything possible to catch it.

“Everything is possible. W🃏e didn’t set a low t💛arget.

“We want to look at the top target, and try to get iཧt. It will be more difficult this year.

“We say the same every year. The🔯 ✅level of MotoGP is getting crazy every year.

“The level ⛎of riders, the technology, the effort of the manufaꦿcturers…

“We will try. We will fight༺ for it. But we are not alone.

“We can do something better than last year.”
