“Taking photos and celebrating after one podiu𒆙m? I don’t think that means anything,” Miller said.

“I’ve been working with these people f🀅o𝄹r five years. When the results come, they come.”

Miller la𝓰ter hinted at the decision that was to come, that he had opted to🌃 leave Ducati for KTM next season.

He claimed that his♔ performances this season were “not to keepꦑ my job - to do the best that I can, for myself, personally”.

This season Miller is part෴nering title contender Bagnaia in the Lenovo Ducati Team, Bastianini is with Gres𒊎ini Racing and Martin is with Pramac Racing.

Miller, speaking earlier this season, said about his chances of being retained by Ducati: “I do the best I can for the company. I am a liked person, peo𝐆pl🌼e like me a lot.

“I sell a lot more motorcycles than other people do. And that’s a big t🍒hing in this business.

“So, for sure, I hav♕e a lot of factors comi🐓ng in my way.”

Miller heads into his home race, the Australian MotoGP, this weekend. Since confirming that his days with Ducati are numbered he has registered his best results of the season - the Aussie won the Japanese MotoGP and finished second in Thailand in consecut✅ive races.

“If you look at results, Enea deserves the place and I don’t,” said Martin, who has been on the podium three times in 2022, earlier this year. “But if you look inside෴, I think it’s a different story. He has a really good bike. With that bike, I did those things last year.”

Ducati boss Davide Tardozzi described their t𒁃hree-way decision between Bastianini, Miller and Martin: “It’s a problem that everybody would like to have.

“Some people may say that we are 𒐪managing a problem. But it is such a nice problem to manage.”

Miller then revealed how he broke the news to his Ducati bosses that he w𝄹ould switch to KTM: “What makes me hungry? What will motivate me th🐽e best in the years to come?

“I went to speak with them all after I ma๊de my decision. I explained that I won’t be here next year. I have decided to go elsewhere, and that’s itꦫ.”

Miguel Oliveira, whose KTM seat Miller will ⛄inherit when the Portuguese rider moves to Aprilia, teased Milꦉler: “I hope you enjoy it more than me!”
