“Taking photos and celebrating after one pod🌄ium? I don’t think that means🅠 anything,” Miller said.

“I’ve been working wi♒th these people for five years. When the results come, they come.”

Miller later hint൲ed at the decision that was to come, that he had opted to leave ♐Ducati for KTM next season.

He claimed that his performances this season were “not to keep m𒁃y job - to do the best that I can, for myself, p🔴ersonally”.

This season Miller is partneဣring title contender Bagnaia in the Lenovo Ducati Team, Bastianini is with Gresini Racing and Mart♊in is with Pramac Racing.

Miller, speaking earlier this season, said about his chances of being retained by 𒊎Ducati: “I do the best I can for the company. I am a liked person, people like me a lot.

“I sell a lot more motorcycles than other 🦹peoplꦐe do. And that’s a big thing in this business.

“So, for sure, I have a lot o🌠f factors coming in my way.”

Miller heads into his home race, the Australian MotoGP, this weekend. Since confirming that his days with Ducati are numbered he has registered his best results of the season - the Aussie won the Japanese MotoGP and finished second in Thailand in consecu෴tive racesꦛ.

Bastianini, though, has💎 had a breakthrough season with four victories (Qatar, America, France, Aragon).

“If you look at results, Enea deserves the place and I don’t,” said Martin, who hasဣ been on the podium three times in 2022, earlier this year. “But if you look inside, I think it’s a different story. He has a really good bike. With that bike, I did those things last year.”

Ducati boss Davide Tardozzi described their three-way decisiღon between Bastianini, Miller and Martin: “It’ཧs a problem that everybody would like to have.

“Some people may say that we are managing a p🎃roblem. But it is such a nice problem to manage꧃.”

Miller then revealed how he broke the news to his Ducati bosses t𒉰hat he would switch to KTM: “What makes me hungry? What will motivate me the best in the years to come?

“I went to♌ speak with them all after I made my decision. I explained that I won’t be here next year. I have decided to go elsewhere♑, and that’s it.”

Migꦍuel Oliveira, whose KTM seat Miller will inherit when the Portuguese rider🎐 moves to Aprilia, teased Miller: “I hope you enjoy it more than me!”
