The hugely popular veteran is carrying the 💦torch once held by Wayne Gardner, Mick Doohan and Casey Stoner.

A premier class champions🌌hip for the KTM rider would solidify his name among the legends whoꦓ came before him.

“Jack is a very talented rider and is a great ambassador for Australia,” Gardner told Motosan. 

“He always jokes, very typical among Australians. His presence is great for the sport, I think people watch the races to see it. And not just Australia♛ns, but other nationalities. 

“He is also a very fast rider. I t♌hink he is ꩵdoing very well on the new KTM, which is very different from last year. 

“I๊ think he is doing a great job together with his teammate Brad Binder. Binder is also phenomenal, one of the 𝓰best riders in the entire championship. 

“I think Jack will win a lot of ra⛄ces and do a great job."

Miller currently sits seventh in 𝓀the MotoGP standings.

The format change this season, the addition of a sprint race at every🌞 round, remains a talking point.

“It is very good for television, for the fans,” Gardner said.&nb💖sp;

“It's a great ꦐidea, similar to what 🍌F1 is doing. 

“I think it works, but the problem is that the bikes are too fast, too refined and difficult💛. 

“I think the riders have to be very in tune wi🍷th the bikes and it's very easy to go too far because they are very precise.&nbs🐲p;

“I♋f you're going to have this format, I think the bikes should be limited a bit. 

“From an entertai🎃nment s🌌tandpoint, they're doing the right thing; from a racing perspective, they should make it less dangerous."

Gardner has joined Stoner in criticising the aerodyna🏅mic direction that modern MotoGP has taken.

“If you had asked me this 20 years ago, I probably would have told you that b♍ikes didn't need to be changed at all,” Gardner added.

“However, one of the reasons the Japanese are involved in manufacturing is that they brought a lot of technology into the industry and that's a good thing when it comes t♈o safety. 

“Of course, today the motorcycles have much more power and are heavier, and to control the forces of the motorcycle, wings and other tools a🦹re needed. 

“In my opinion, everything is too much. 

“But the pr𝓡oblem is that the manufacturers want this, because it is what sells, it has become a fashion. 

“Personally, 🍒I would like to see a more basic package without going too deep into the technology, keep it simple.”
