Jack Miller had a weekend to forget in Indonesia. He finished the Sprint in 13th place, and crashed on the fifth lap of the Grand Prix. The MotoGP farewell tour of the rider, who is set to move to Superbike next year, has been disappointing so far.
On his Yamaha, ‘Jackass’ couldn’t find a way to be competitive in Sunday’s main race. ‘I had a great feeling this morning, or at least a reasonably good one. But as soon as we’re riding in race set-up, the bike becomes almost unrideable,’ the Australian lamented. “Whether it’s down to the fuel mapping or whatever – there’s something going on behind the scenes that makes riding this bike very difficult. I’m struggling to brake the bike, and the engine isn’t behaving normally. We need to work even harder to find out what’s causing this.”

Jack Miller on the Yamaha M1: “Our fuel consumption is always too high”
The fact that the M1 has very high fuel consumption is nothing new. Fabio Quartararo also has recurring problems with it. The result: the Yamaha riders have to reduce their pace in the long races. “Our fuel consumption is always too high – we need to think about that,” emphasised Miller. “I can’t brake the bike, I can’t turn it in. As soon as I start to push, the front wheel locks up and there’s nothing I can do about it. It is what it is. We’re heading to Australia and we’ll see what we can achieve there.”
For Jack Miller, a particularly emotional Grand Prix lies ahead in two weeks’ time. The 31-year-old will contest his final MotoGP race weekend in front of his home fans at Phillip Island. It will also be the last time for the legendary circuit – from 2027, the Australian GP will take place in Adelaide.

Topic of the week: MotoGP’s new schedule proved highly controversial
In 2027, MotoGP will also enter the 850cc era with a new schedule. It was not so much the changes themselves as the way the decisions were reached that caused a stir. A prime example of: ‘Talking helps’.
