Linked With Jack Miller, This Is KTM's Answer That Can Make Ducati Riders Heartbroken

JAKARTA - The fate of the Ducati racer, Jack Miller, has recently become a hot topic of discussion. The Australian man has not yet confirmed which team he will join in MotoGP 2023.

Reportedly, Jack Miller is still prioritizing Ducati Lenovo. Currently, communication is being carried out by both parties.

However, rumors circulating in Italy, Jack Miller is not only negotiating with Ducati, but also with KTM. This cannot be separated from the role of the former Pramac Ducati rider's personal manager, Aki Ajo, who also has a role at KTM.

However, this news was immediately denied. Director of KTM Motorsport, Pit Beirer said, their plan is very clear, namely to continue to work with the four existing riders.

KTM is currently reinforced by Miguel Oliveira, Brad Binder (factory team), Raul Fernandez and Remy Gardner (satellite team).

"Our plan is to continue racing with Binder and Oliveira at Red Bull and Remy and Raul at Tech3 in (MotoGP) 2023," Pit Beirer said in an interview with Speedweek.

Binder does have a contract until the end of the 2024 season. As for Oliveira, KTM is still trying to finalize the Portuguese rider's new contract.

"We are now at the same level in MotoGP, so everything is very suitable. We have a good agreement with the riders," said Beirer.

"They also have to be comfortable, there's no point if there's no match. We don't have any pressure to rush into anything."

"Our intention is to stay with our four riders, if they are repeatedly approached by other teams or rumors arise, it is quite normal," continued the KTM Motorsport boss.
