Jack Miller
Biography
Jack Miller made his road racing debut in 2009 after starting his career on dirt, and soon after made his appearance in the 125cc World Championship. Taking the IDM 125 crown on his way to full-time competition on the world stage, Miller first impressed in 2013 when he proved to be a consistent frontrunner with Racing Team Germany. A title contender with Red Bull KTM Ajo in 2014, Miller narrowly missed out to Alex Marquez in the final rounds of the championship, before making the incredible move from Moto3 straight to MotoGP in 2015 with the LCR Honda team.
After a tough rookie season, Miller moved to the Marc VDS Racing Team. He took a stunning maiden win at the 2016 Dutch GP in heavy rain that flooded the TT circuit at Assen, after starting the season with a broken leg. With a good number of top 10 results, Miller remained with the Marc VDS team for 2017, impressing once again before moving to Pramac Racing for the 2018 season, switching from Honda to Ducati.
It was a solid season for the Australian, highlighted by a superb pole position at the Argentinian GP: his growth and competitiveness secured him a place on the Pramac Ducati for 2019. A season in which Miller improved his results with five podiums and four more in the following year, his third with the Pramac team, which secured him the team's factory bike for the 2021 season. His debut as a Ducati factory rider turned out to be the best of his career so far, with Miller taking two wins, three other podiums and a fourth place in the overall standings. In 2022 the Aussie again proved his quality with seven podiums, including the best MotoGP performance of his career when he dominated the race in Japan: with 189 points Miller - who proved to be a great help to Francesco Bagnaia in the Italian's hunt for his first MotoGP World title - finished the season in fifth place overall.
After five years with Ducati, Miller in 2023 swapped his red leather for KTM's orange, claiming a double podium at the Spanish GP and another sprint podium at the German GP, before a difficult 2024 season that saw him finish 14th in the riders' standings.
And because there is nothing like the air of home to rejuvenate, Miller for this season returned to Paolo Campinoti's court as one of the two riders to defend the Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP colours as a Yamaha factory rider. After 14 of the 22 races on the 2025 MotoGP calendar, Miller occupies the 17th position in the Riders’ standings, with the 5th position at the Americas GP as best result. He also competed with the Yamaha official team at the 46th 8 Hours of Suzuka, finishing second.
