After one season with Pol Espargaro and two with Miguel Oliveira, next year Brad Binder will have a new teammate in MotoGP – Jack Miller, with whom he already has a strong relationship even if the Australian currently competes for Ducati and not are of the same generation nor did they make a coincident trajectory before MotoGP.
In an interview with the Youtube channel Moto Rider World, the # 33 was asked if he is excited about his new future teammate, and in the answer he did not hesitate: ‘For sure. Jack is probably one of my best friends. I spend most of my time with him when I’m in Europe. He lives right down the street here in Andorra. We train a lot together, we do cycling, we do some trials. And I think Australians and South Africans seem to get along well, because we have a very similar way of doing things’.
In addition to the personal relationship, Binder believes that Miller could be an asset when it comes to the bike: ‘It will be fantastic to have him on the team, I’m excited to see how he discovers the bike. The good thing is that he has already ridden a Honda, he comes from a Ducati which seems to be the strongest bike at the moment. He can bring all that knowledge and feedback and help us make some progress on our project’.
