Jack Miller has become a standout Pramac Racing rider this season. Miller, who is known for his positive outlook, has found pace on the Yamaha in comparison to his previous struggles with KTM. However, the issues he had experienced with KTM in 2024, mostly the chatter problems, continue to affect the riders to this day, but Miller’s move to Yamaha has given him a fresh start.

He is currently 15th in the MotoGP standings after four rounds, and his role in Yamaha’s progress is undeniable. As the once-struggling Yamaha team is showing signs of improvement, Miller’s experience has been a factor in this positive momentum. For the first time since Fabio Quartararo’s 2021 title victory, there is hope in Yamaha.

However, Miller’s approach to bike development is based on focusing on the positives rather than being miserable from the negatives. He shared his mindset in an interview with Speedweek, saying, "Yes, absolutely. That's how I’ve done it throughout my career, and that includes every bike I've ridden in MotoGP." Miller explained that when he rode for Ducati, Honda, or KTM, he always tried to build on the bikes' strengths.

"Even when things aren’t going well, you have to make the best of it, not the worst," he added. “But to do this, you need to know where the strengths lie." According to Miller, no bike is ever perfect, even when it’s considered the best on the grid. Every bike has its problems, and after that, it’s about finding ways to work around those issues.

So, after he had ridden for top manufacturers like Honda, Ducati, and KTM, Miller brings important knowledge to Yamaha. His experience and insight into the development process are valuable.

And as Miller is in a satellite team, he personally doesn’t believe the type of team matters when it comes to bike development. "Honestly, I don’t think it makes any difference," Miller said about developing bikes for factory versus satellite teams. "This freedom is all about the results, no matter where you ride. In this business, it’s about performance."

And even though he had a disappointing run at the Qatar Grand Prix, he reminded everyone of his talent with a fifth-place finish in Texas. With an optimistic approach, he is eager to go after amazing results.
