Jack Miller has opened up on the difficulties of following in the footsteps of Australian MotoGP legends - and why it forced him to fight harder for his career.
Miller is now one of the most popular names and faces on the MotoGP grid.“I have my opinion. If you ask and it’s what you like, good. If it’s not? That’s your problem, not mine.
“I feel complete in terms of where I’m at in my racing career. I’ve done alright, better than I imagined. “I was a cocky kid but, deep down, you never know. There have been points in my career where I thought I’d be heading home shortly, to get a job!“An idiot, a bit of a clown! But I’m real. I’ll happily give everyone my time.
“I remember being a fan watching guys like Valentino Rossi get mobbed. It’s cool to push the next generation on, and to show them that you don’t have to be a robot! Or to be a certain way to succeed.”This year he has been part of KTM’s impressive push, finishing third in Spain.“I feel like I’m getting better,” Miller said.
“I don’t get flustered or stressed as much. I still take the job as seriously as I ever did, but with the experience that you gain, you become comfortable with being uncomfortable.He assessed his season so far: “Six out of 10. I was happy with the sprint races in Germany and Jerez. But there were moments, in Austin, I felt strong but then I dumped it.“There have been a lot of ‘what ifs’.“You try to make it second-nature and the only way to do that is to push it.
