KTM motorsport director Pit Beirer admits his happiness at signing 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Maverick Vinales and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Enea Bastianini is tinged with sadness at ‘giving up’ Jack Miller and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Augusto Fernandez.

Miller, a MotoGP race winner for Honda (1) and Du𝄹cati (3), joined Red Bull KTM at the start of the 20꧋23 campaign.

After a promising start to his RC16 career, culminating in a d꧟ouble podium during round four at Jerez, the Australian has been absent from the rostrum since and is currently൩ only 16th in this year’s standings.

Although rookie star Pedro Acosta was c𝐆onfirmed as taking over Miller’s factory KTM team place alongsiꦓde Brad Binder for 2025, Miller seemed to have a good chance of slotting into Acosta’s seat at Tech3.

But KTM pulled off a surprise by signing not only Enea Bastia🦂nini from Ducati but Maverick Vinales from Aprili♔a to form the future Tech3 line-up.

“As you can imﷺagine, we are happy people right now because we could get a [ride🍌r] package together for the future that is very, very promising. With Enea and Maverick, we have two more very strong riders on board,” Beirer told a small group of media during a video call on Friday morning.

“But this ꦜalso means giving up on two ri🏅ders, who are with us at the moment.

“You [media] followed the market as well as we did. And Mugello was 🔥kind of the moment because everything happened really quick,” Beirer added. “The window to🍰 get these two boys on board was really, really short.

“So at the end, I'm really super excited that, if you just look at the facts, what kind of great riders we have together [for 2025]. It's another step to move the whole package 🔴forward.”

Nonetheless:&𒐪nbsp; “Giving up on♛ Jack and Augusto is really sad.

“I really was hoping that𒀰 we could get Jack back on the level where he should be. In Mugello, being out of the points, that's not where Jack Miller should be.

“ꦬAnd no matter what the future brings, we have to turn that around, because that's not how we're going to end ♔our relationship.

“I tho🍒ught we could give a bit longer to both of the boys [Miller and Fernandez], but the market was 🔜so much under pressure.

“If you didn't take the chance in that one week [aro𒐪und Mugello], you just wouldn't have those chances anymore.

“So we took t🎉he hard decision to move forward [with different riders]. So it's kind of giving up o🤡n something that was not the plan. Definitely not.”

“Jack made our bike better… but maybe he’s the last to benefit”

Although Miller’s results have been disappointing of late, Beirer was quick to highlight the contribution he﷽ h🥂as made to the RC16 project.

Ironically, the c🥂hanges in areas such as set-up and electronics that Miller and former Ducati crew chief Cristhian Pupulin instigated have proved a bigger benefit 👍for other KTM riders.

“It's no secret - I’ve said it before - Jack, his crew chief and then the team they did something to the bik🀅e, which we never did before,” 𒊎Beirer said.

“So at the beginning of last year, they extended the potential of KTM. They showed us new things where we didn't want to go with the KTM before. So🦩 he made us better.

“But alrea𝔉dy last year in the second part of the season, Brad could benefit much more from what Jack did to the bike than Jack himself. So Jack started to have problems during last year and we could never recover from ✅that. 

“I still sign for it, that Jack made🀅 our bike better and it looks like at the moment he's maybe the last one 𓆏to benefit from that. And so our target now - not mid-term, not long-term, but for Assen - is to get Jack back on track.

“Something for🍬 him is missing to get a good feeling on the 🌟bike and we need to find that. We lost that somewhere along the way.”

“Jack is not done yet”

Beirer alluded to Miller’s preferred bike set-up being “different” to the others and that “he could also choose Pedro’s set-up” if he wanted, before underlining tha🔜t it’ll be a ‘win-win’ situation if they can turn his season around.

“That's the target, to get him back, to give him also the platform to shine because I want h🎶im to stay in Moto𒈔GP. I want him to have a good future and find a good ride,” Beirer said.

“So the better he can perform with us, it's win-win. We get better results and it hopefully helps him also to get a good futur🔴e in thisౠ sport.

“So I feel Jack is not done yet.”

Miller’s 2025 options could include a return to Honda, where he began his MotoGP career. Or Pramac, the satellite tea𓃲m that he raced for from 2018-2020, which is pondering a switch from Ducati to Yamaha.

Fernandez, one place behind Miller in the standings, is thought to have options in WorldSBK or Moto2 if he is unable to secure an alternati🐼ve premier-class ride.
