KTM’s Jack Miller is not fazed by the uncertain weather forecast for this weekend’s MotoGP Australian Grand Prix as “the least amount of dry tracꦑk time, the better for me”.

The fou𝓰r-time grand prix winner returns to his home Phillip Island circuit seeking a strong end to his time with KTM ahead of his Yamaha switch with Pramac in 2025.

A podium finisher at Phillip Island in 2019 in the MotoGP class, Miller’s homecoming in 2024 h🃏as been preceded by a tough run of results on the RC16 as he battles a continual chatter problem.

With uncertain weather forecasts set to affect Friday and Saturday’s running at Phillip Island, Miller sees this a꧒s only a positive for him as he has typically struggled this year to advance on a good start to race weekends.

“As we’ve seen many a years here at the island, it’s one of those tracks where even 💃if 𝔍you are having some slight issues you can mask it a little bit around here,” he said.

“So, fingers crossed we ✤can get away to a solid weekend.

“Looks like the weather conditions are going to be iffy throughout at lౠeast Friday and Saturday.

“So, the least amount of dry track time the bꦺetter for me. I feel like we 💎sort of hit the ground running and then we’ve been struggling throughout the season to make progress from basically FP1.

“So, I feel like the least amount of dry track time will help because our speed is ge🧸nerally ther﷽e from the get go.

“It’s just how to make those micro improvementsᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤꧅ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ over the weekend.”

KTM hopes for a top result in Australia will rest on Pedro Acosta’s shoulders, after he claimed a maiden MotoGP pole last time out in Japan and was in victory contention in both races before 🦩crashing.

But Miller also praised the job his team-mate Brad Binder has been doing of late in ridinᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚg around the RC16’s limit♐ations.

“He’s done a fantastic job,” Miller said of A꧙c🐈osta.

“It’s easy to forget thaꦕt he’s a rookie because he’s riding like a seasoned veteran.

“Obviously leading the charge for us and Brad is doing a fantastic job as well bringing home ♛the results.

“So, I mean the whole package, there’s no hiding the fact I’🀅ve had my issues.

“But I think the b🧜oys are doing a fantastic job being able to ride around it 𒊎and still put it where it needs to be on a Saturday afternoon and on Sunday.”
