Jack Miller Rider Biography
Jack Miller made his road race debut in 2009 after beginning his career on dirt and debuted in the 125cc World Championship soon after. Taking the IDM 125 crown on his way to full time competition on the world stage, Miller first impressed in 2013 when he proved a consistent frontrunner with Racing Team Germany. A title challenge with Red Bull KTM Ajo in 2014 saw Miller just miss out to Alex Marquez before he made the incredible move from Moto3 straight to MotoGP in 2015.
After a tough rookie season, Miller took a stunning maiden win in 2016 at the TT Circuit Assen, despite a season that began with a broken leg and was subsequently interrupted by more injury. Taking a good number of top-ten results, Miller remained with the Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS team for 2017 and impressed once more before moving to Pramac for 2018, switching from Honda to Ducati machinery.
More consistent and taking his first pole position, it was a solid season for the Australian, who remained with Pramac Racing in 2019. Miller was super impressive: five podiums came the number 43's way that year, and he continued to show his class throughout 2020, earning another four podium finishes, but no victories. A move to the factory Ducati squad in 2021 delivered two victories, three further podiums, and fourth in the World Championship. Miller again proved his quality in 2022 with seven podiums, including the best MotoGP performance of his career when he won with ease in Japan.
After five years in red, Miller donned the orange of KTM - and the season started strong with a double podium at the Spanish GP in 2023. Another Sprint podium was claimed at the German GP but after a lowkey second half of the season and start of 2024, Miller decided he was up for a new challenge. He will be rejoining the Pramac set-up, this time as a Factory Yamaha rider for 2025.
