Miller renews with Pramac for 2020

After plenty of recent speculation about his future, Aussie Jack Miller will remain with the
Italian-based Ducati-backed Pramac Racing team in 2020.

It will be the third season of collaboartion between Miller and Pramac Racing, with the Australian enjoying a strong 2019 campaign aboard a GP19 machine.

The 24-year-old has consistently challenged inside the top six and after picking up his first dry-weather podium in Austin at round three, Miller produced a great ride to claim his second podium of the season at the Czech GP.

And, for 2020, Miller will join teammate Francesco Bagnaia in having a GP20 – just like factory riders Andrea Dovizioso and Danilo Petrucci.

“I am very happy to have reached this agreement. Pramac Racing is a team that made me feel comfortable right from the start and the relationship with Ducati is very close,” said Miller.

“I will have again the official bike at my disposal and will do my best to achieve great results. I would like to thank Ducati and my team for the great work they have done so far.”

Paolo Ciabatti, Ducati Corse Sporting Director, said: “We are really glad to have reached an agreement with Pramac Racing that will allow our factory supported team to field Desmosedici GP 20 bikes for both Jack and Pecco next year.

“It will be the first time that Ducati will have four identical bikes in MotoGP, two for the factory Ducati Team and two for Pramac Racing: this exceptional effort will help us to collect and share more information and improve the development process, with the aim of obtaining even better results and stimulate a fair and positive competition among our riders.

“We are very pleased that Jack will continue with us next year, because he has shown continuous progress since he joined us in 2018, and want to thank Pramac Racing for its continued commitment to Ducati.”
