**”Jack Miller’s Unexpected KTM Departure: From Promises of Continuity to a Sudden Exit”**

Jack Miller was caught off guard by his sudden dismissal from KTM, especially after they reassured him by saying, "Don't bother negotiating with anyone else, as we intend to retain you within our team."

Jack Miller has detailed how his departure from KTM unfolded – despite the team initially expressing their desire for him to remain.

The factory team for the 2025 MotoGP season will include Brad Binder and Pedro Acosta as its riders.

Miller expressed optimism about transitioning to the Tech3 team, even though it meant giving up his position with the factory team, a change that had been suggested previously.

In an unexpected turn of events, Maverick Vinales and Enea Bastianini have been announced as the riders for Tech3 KTM next season, resulting in Jack Miller losing his position.

According to Motorsport, he expressed his surprise at the Dutch MotoGP.

"The last thing I heard was, 'don't talk to anyone else because we want to keep you within the family.'"

"Three hours before the press release is issued, you receive a phone call informing you that you won't be awarded the contract."

"To put it mildly, I was taken aback. However, that's just how things are."

Miller has the remaining half of the season to finish on a KTM, starting this weekend at Assen.

However, an urgent issue is determining his riding location for the upcoming season and future ones.

A seasoned rider whose insights were crucial in enhancing the KTM, Miller is expected to receive offers despite the decreasing availability of positions.

He suggested that the upcoming changes in regulations could influence his next move: “MotoGP will see many changes in 2027.

"I was engaged in a project and seeking a stable, long-term team to conclude my final competitive years in MotoGP while striving towards a shared objective – an objective I believed we were aligned on, but it turned out we were not."

"Therefore, it's something we must carefully consider."

"I have funds in my bank account; I consider myself very lucky. So, it's not a matter of finances."

"This is the path I desire for my professional life."

Miller is now in his 10th season of MotoGP racing and his second season with the KTM factory team.

In the past, he was a representative for both Honda and

This season, his fifth-place finish in Portimao has stood out as a high point that he hasn't been able to match again.

The impressive performance of Tech3 newcomer Acosta essentially compelled KTM to elevate him to their factory team for the 2025 season.

Augusto Fernandez, who is presently teammates with Acosta at Tech3, is searching for a new motorcycle, similar to Miller.
