Schwantz sings Miller's praises
Former GP great Kevin Schwantz has said Australian rider Jack Miller could be "one of the best"…Kevin Schwantz, the 1993 500cc World Champion, has lavished praise on Australian MotoGP rider Jack Miller ahead of the 2016 Michelin Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix, saying the 21-year-old Australian has all of the attributes to make it to the top.
Miller took his maiden premier-class victory when he won in dreadful conditions at the Dutch TT in June, becoming the first Australian MotoGP race-winner since Casey Stoner won at Phillip Island in 2012.
Ahead of this weekend's Grand Prix at Phillip Island, Schwantz – who won the premier-class title 23 years ago for Suzuki – said in the latest 'Keeping Track' podcast from the Australian Grand Prix Corporation that Miller has big things ahead of him.
"I really like Jack and I think he's got the talent to be one of the best," Schwantz said.
"It was great to see him win in Assen and I'm sure that really helped his confidence, and it'll be interesting to see him back, even more so at Phillip Island.
"He's got to remember when he gets there that there's going to be all the pressure of a home Grand Prix and not let that get to him, but I think that Jack has got a really bright future."
