Jack Miller will be swapping Ducati for KTM for the 2023 MotoGP season, with the deal confirmed on Thursday morning.
The 27-year-old has been within the KTM set-up before, of course, with him finishing runner up in the Moto3 championship in 2014, and now he’s set to reignite his relationship with the factory team in the premier class from next year .
Signing a two-year deal, Miller will be with KTM until at least the end of the 2024 season and in that time will look to add to his three MotoGP race victories.

He’ll partner Brad Binder next year, in what looks an exciting, punchy rider line-up for the 2023 campaign, and both men will hope the KTM bike is quick enough for them to display their full abilities.
Miller replaces Miguel Oliveira in the team, with the Portuguese linked with a move to Gresini for next year.
Francesco Guidotti, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team Manager said:
“Having Jack alongside Brad in our team means we have another strong asset. I know him well, I know how he likes to work and what he can bring to the box.

“I believe his character and the way he will ride and push our KTM RC16 will help us a lot at this stage of our project. Like Brad, Jack is a pure racer: he will find the limits and the maximum of any condition and any package and still ‘go for it’ to get the result and that is quite a rare quality. The next two seasons will be exciting!”
