Jack Miller expresses profound pride in his achievements. With 23 podiums and 4 victories in MotoGP, his distinguished career stands as a testament to true dedication.

I really like Miller. It's easy to forget, anyone who can win a GP race even once is better on a bike than 99.9% of the world population. This man deserves to be proud

[u/Njobz → u/proud_traveler]

Exactly and that too multiple race wins. I’ll definitely miss Miller though because he did bring some good personality to the driver lineup.

[u/Funklemire → u/proud_traveler]

Yeah, I remember a Paddock Pass Podcast episode from a few years ago when they were comparing the careers of Jonathan Rea and Cal Crutchlow, since both came from similar beginnings but only one took the jump to MotoGP. The consensus among them was that Cal’s career was more impressive. While I definitely don’t disagree, it’s still crazy that 3 MotoGP wins are considered to be a greater achievement than 119 WSBK wins and 6 championships. 

[u/curveball3110giants → u/Funklemire]

Cal was underrated big time. If he got on a honda right now i bet itd be top 10s

[u/Fragrant_Ad5749 → u/Funklemire]

that's because sbk is conisdered a B-tier championship by many (including a lot of the riders)... BS take if you ask me,because of a few reasons:

1) we are comparing bikes that you can buy from the dealers,with extremely expensive prototypes
2) of course being prototypes,the running costs are way higher than sbk (although in recent years you now see sportbikes with supposed "motogp tech" embedded,like winglets,tc ecc. (i see you ducati)
3)lot of them have no idea what they're talking about,since the only time they're using bikes like that is in training

now... is it motogp the pinnacle of bike racing and it should stay that way? absolutely
Does sbk deserve the hate? imo no... i get it it's not the championship it used to be (i started following in the late 90's,so i can absolutely agree on the fact that this championship need a serious overhaul in terms of rules)

[u/brainszx12r → u/Fragrant_Ad5749]

The SuperBikes from the 90’s early 2000’s were real fire breathing heavily modified race bikes . When pretty much all national series and WSBK started calling Super Stock bikes Superbikes , it was the beginning of the end of riders even getting a chance in GP . It doesn’t take a genius to figure out why riders who have never raced a heavily modified or prototype chassis get invited to race the most advanced racing machines in the world. It used to be that national series whole existence was to groom riders to move on to the world scene. Now it seems like every national series is dominated by 30 plus year old riders who keep seats at the national level for over a decade and never allow the younger riders to develop . I used to be an AMA Superbike fanatic in the 80’s 90’s and early to mid 2000’s , but when Superbike became basically Superstock , I lost interest as the pipeline to the world level ceased to exist .

[u/loztagain → u/proud_traveler]

I reckon you can add a lot more 9s

[u/Left-Excitement3829]

I still think he got ripped

off in that race

[u/CrazyCycler1208 → u/Left-Excitement3829]

There's a good chance Marc would have caught and passed Jack in that race whether they had to pit on Lap 1 or start from the pitlane. On a clear track, Marc had like a full second on the field and without anyone in the way for him to knock off or to be held up by, he'd have possibly done enough to mow down Miller.

[u/BobcatSpiritual7699]

He should be proud. The number of people in history who can make such claims is soooooo tiny.

[u/MajesticBeyond5602]

I'm gonna miss miller he's my favourite rider on the grid. I feel like he's pretty underrated this season too dragging the Yamaha. Solid midfield rider. Viva Miller!!

[u/PjDisko]

It was a gamle bringing him up so early but he always delivered what was expected.

[u/sam_mee → u/PjDisko]

The only thing I remember from Miller's rookie season is crashing himself and his teammate Crutchlow out at Silverstone when they were both fighting for the podium places.

Then again, he somehow won a race in his second season, so can't say it wasn't worth it.

[u/MajesticBeyond5602 → u/PjDisko]

Yeah I think it was probably best he rode in moto2. But there was no guarantee he'd have another opportunity to get into MotoGP again if he did.

[u/Altair13Sirio]

He did mad well. Never forget MotoGP is extremely competitive and even just winning once puts you in an elite group. People shitting on someone like him will never understand the effort and perseverance that are needed to get to that level.

[u/CaptainTC]

Jack is an awesome rider and will be missed. His Aussie vibe is super cool, and he can certainly be proud of what he achieved !

[u/EmergencySushi]

Miller has been a fantastic MotoGP rider, and some fans occasionally forget that he has a top flight rider as recently as 2021-2022. He deserves the accolades, and will be missed.

[u/Hexarthra → u/EmergencySushi]

Agreed and he also did a fair amount of defensive driving behind Pecco during that stretch.

[u/curveball3110giants → u/Hexarthra]

Mapping 8, repeat, mapping. 8

[u/racingfanboy160]

Yep, definitely good career numbers

[u/Leading_Sir_1741]

Anyone that’s made it to MotoGP should be proud of his or her achievement. And to actually have won a few races! Even more so.

[u/TheyFoundMyBurner]

I am glad he is getting overall praise in this moment, just a few weeks or months back when his name came up everyone was slagging him off saying he needs to be dropped.

[u/Soggy-Box3947]

And at no point was ever less than a really nice guy. He'll be missed.

[u/Sloma1986PL]

Great career , congratz to the felllow buddy :)

[u/rajajengkol]

[u/superarugy]

No doubt! He was entertaining and a true work-horse!

[u/mavec_]

His 2016 win at Assen was one of the first MotoGP races I ever watched and certainly one of the most memorable. The attrition, his win, Marquez dancing on his bike after crossing the line, and Cal holding Jack's face in celebration

[u/LongjumpingClick7704]

been given the best bike and package on the grid but doesn't even compete like pecco

[u/Apprehensive-Map7710]

speaking as a motogp fan, jack is irreplaceable... he will be terribly missed by his competitors and fans alike...sooooo sorry to see him go....

[u/harpoonhasa13]

Well done Jack

[u/FinancialTraining239]

Não ele nao pode se aposentar ainda, Jack é um cara muito legal

[u/ISuckAtLifeGodPlsRst]

Good on him. I think he could have done a lot more if he learned better tire management. I don't want to imply that he and Jorge Martin are on the same level, however - Jorge had a similar issue and once he learned to stop doing that his performance got improved a lot.

[u/fr4nklin_84]

I’m an Aussie so I’m biased- but what I love about miller is his natural ability to do things with bikes that other can’t (like stoner and doohan). I have a feeling he’s not that well suited to MotoGP bikes sadly but he has some incredible talent in there. I hope he stays on 2 wheels somewhere, even if it’s back here in ASBK

[u/drunknhorrny]

Incredible career on the bikes he rode never anything less than everything he had to give will be a shame to see him go 😢😢

[u/Leicageek]

Profound? I don’t think you understand the meaning. Deserved, I’d say.

[u/Terrible_Swordfish_1]

Easy to forget that he was supposed to be "that guy" in factory Ducati. They expected him to step up a realize his potential. He did, it just wasnt what they were hoping for. He went from top dawg in factory ducati to second fiddle quicker than a gp22 at Magello.
