Jack Miller deser♋ves his MotoGP stay and claims about a ‘passport ride’ ar👍e “nonsense”, says the Dorna CEO.

Mill🅠er was on the brink of an exit from MotoGP af🏅ter losing his factory KTM ride to Pedro Acosta in 2025, and being overlooked for the Tech3 squad.

But Pramac Yamaha swooped to rescue his hopes.

It has caused a debate within MotoGP about the various nationalities th💖at are represented on the grid.

Spanish🐼 and Italian riders dominate - and some🅠 argue that it is harder for them to progress into MotoGP, because the organisers want a spread of nationalities.

“It'sꦿ easy to answe🍃r,” Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta told .

“In the Olympics, if you are an American and you are fourt🥃h in your country, you don't go. It's🅷 over. That's it.

“It cannot be, and I am Spanish, that some gentlemen who have had more facilities than the others, be🔯cause in Spain it woౠrks well, take over the grid.

“It cannot be that we occupy the grid with Spaniards. That is a clear decision of the championsh𒊎ip.

“This has to be a world championship and if ꩲyou ar🧜e from a place where there are many, you have to be better, and that's it, because you have had more facilities.”

Previous💃 eras of MotoGP featured American and Australian champions but times have changed.

But Ezpeleta warned Spanish and Italian riders: “In the future there will be 🎃less. It doesn't add anytꦅhing.

“Of those that exist now, and I am not going to say who, there are some that should not be there. 
“No. That doesn't improve the championship.

“Itꦬ cannot be wanting a global championship and continuing to include Spaniards and Italians.

“And that happens to anyone. How many Spaniards are there here who sh⭕ouldn't be, if we think about it?

“What we have to doꦚ is give opportღunities to people who haven't had them.

“And in the case of Miller it is very clear, b♍ecause he is a rider who has won grands prix in MotoGP.

“Others who criticise him have won l💮ess than him. Let🍨's not come with nonsense.

“I don't want to base myself on Miller but on a philosophy.🥀 And it would be w💖orse if we gave one quota per country.

“We want to prioritise riders of all nationalities racing. Just as I would have liked, when we weren't driving it, that there were not o🅺nly♊ American riders in front.

“That's what I would have liked in the 80s.

“N♎ow it is the case that they are Spanish, but it has to be done that way.”

Ezpeleta also insisted that less races will be stꦜaged in Spain.

“We will not be able to contin🌼ue having four grands pr𓄧ix in Spain,” he said.

“They♔ will be there until 2026, for sure, and t𒐪hen we'll see. It just can't be.”
