MotoGP: Miller Admits His Position In KTM Is Threatened By Marc Marquez

JAKARTA Rumors of Marc Marquez joining KTM were responded to by Jack Miller. He admitted that KTM could replace him with Marc Marquez in 2025.

Marquez's future rumors have enveloped MotoGP this month. But apart from whether to survive or leave Honda next season, the Spaniard will become the transfer-free rider the majority of the team wants the following season.

KTM itself has acknowledged its interest in bringing in Marquez as part of a massive expansion, although they also need to find a place in the premier class for Pedro Alcohol next season.

"The door is open and I'm not going to be the one trying to close it," Miller said of the competition to keep riding his bike as reported by Crash.

"Of course, losing my place to one of these two riders is a possibility. If I wasn't as good as KTM had hoped, I wouldn't be here in 2025, that's a sports law," he added.

However, Miller also admitted that he did not feel disturbed by Marquez's rumors, because he already had options for the 2025 and 2026 seasons.

"It's up to me to do a good job and keep my job. You know, I spent five seasons in Ducati on a one-year contract that I have to extend at all times. I'm used to situations like this, it doesn't bother me anymore," Miller said.

The Australian racer joined the KTM this year and was under contract until 2024. Unfortunately, the tight competition to get a place with the manufacturer plus rumors that Marc Marquez made his seat have been in the spotlight.

KTM itself has Miller and Brad Binder on their manufacturing team, as well as their satellite duo Pol Espargaro and Augusto Fernandez on satellite teams until next season.

Facing the 2024 season, KTM plans to recruit Pedro Acosta. Acosta's arrival and rumors Marquez made a KTM plan for the following seasons presenting his own puzzles.

However, the director of the KTM motorsport, Pit Beirer, revealed that they wanted to buy the existing satellite team by 2025 to increase the number of their motorbikes on the grid.
