Jack Miller already feels one aspect of his Pramac Yamaha bike is better than his 2022 Ducati

Jack Miller has had quite an eventful career in MotoGP since joining the premier class in 2015.

The Aussie jumped from Moto3 straight to MotoGP after finishing second in the former in 2014. Scott Redding thought Miller would be a disaster in the premier class as he doubted whether the 30-year-old would get used to the bikes.

It took Miller just his second season to win his first race for Honda at the 2016 Dutch TT. After three seasons with the Japanese manufacturer, he moved to Ducati satellite team Pramac.

The Aussie scored regular podiums with the Tuscany-based team before moving to the factory Ducati team in 2021, who were just beginning to display their dominance in MotoGP.

In his two seasons with the team, Miller grabbed three wins and 12 podiums as he recorded his career-best finish of fourth in 2021. He was dropped by Ducati in 2023 and moved to KTM, where he desperately struggled to find form.

After finishing 11th and 14th with KTM, it looked like Miller’s MotoGP career was over. However, after switching from Ducati to Yamaha, Pramac re-signed the Aussie for 2025 – it has proved to be the right call as the 30-year-old is relishing being on the YZR-M1.

Jack Miller thinks the ‘turning and front feel’ of the 2025 Yamaha bike is better than his 2022 Ducati

Miller thanked Pramac for saving his career as he will remain on the grid until at least the end of 2025. The Aussie is not looking to waste that opportunity.

After three rounds in 2025, the 30-year-old is the highest-ranked Yamaha rider as he sits 10th with 19 points. Miller produced a stunning ride at the Grand Prix of the Americas by finishing P5.

The Aussie looks comfortable on the YZR-M1 after two years of struggle at KTM. Miller is glad not to have a chattering issue at Yamaha as he can etract strong performance from the bike – so much so that he favours one aspect of it to his Ducati.

Miller was asked by The Race to ‘build the perfect MotoGP bike’ from parts of those he had ridden thus far. Perhaps surprisingly, the Aussie chose the ‘turning and front feel’ of his 2025 Yamaha.

This is a clear sign that the 30-year-old is confident on the YZR-M1. Pramac and Yamaha will be hopeful Miller can carry the momentum into the rest of the season after an impressive start.

Jack Miller is not getting carried away about his start to the 2025 season

Miller proved exactly why Pramac chose to sign him for 2025 at the last round in Austin. In the tricky wet weather throughout the weekend, the Aussie used his experience to put in some solid lap times.

One particular moment saw the 30-year-old run on slick tyres on a damp track in practice, testing whether it was the right time to run on dries.

Michael Laverty could not believe Miller’s ‘exceptional’ talent as he glided around the circuit with ease. It spurred him in good stead to finish P5 in the Grand Prix on Sunday.

Jack Doohan applauded Miller for his performance at Austin. Despite a strong weekend, the Aussie is not getting too excited.

Miller wants to see Pramac back on the podium in MotoGP and will not properly celebrate until that happens. His early performances in 2025 suggest that could be possible this season.
