Future Pramac Yamaha rider Jack Miller has expressed reservations about Cal Crutchlow's advice regarding the Yamaha YZR-M1, with the Australian claiming the British test rider tends to exaggerate the bike's strengths and weaknesses.
Jack Miller, the pilot Pramac Yamaha, has clearly expressed his reservations about the advice of the ex-MotoGP rider Cal Crutchlow regarding adaptation to the Yamaha YZR-M1. Although Crutchlow, who is now an official MotoGP test rider of Yamaha , has extensive experience with the M1, Miller is not convinced that the opinions of Crutchlow are the most reliable.
Miller, who shared his MotoGP journey with Crutchlow when they were teammates at Honda LCR in 2015, said after the Barcelona Grand Prix: " Cal Crutchlow is a bad person to talk to because if you know Cal, you know he likes to exaggerate sometimes, whether for good or for bad »
Jack Miller: “ I think his wife is the only person he tells the whole truth to. »
The Australian driver went on to say that he prefers to address other drivers like fabio quartararo ou Alex Rins, who have had more recent experiences with the YZR-M1. "You have to take what he says with a pinch of salt. ", added Miller, suggesting that a more balanced and factual view of the performance of the Yamaha is preferable.
Miller even joked that the only person who would know the complete truth about the impressions of Crutchlow on Yamaha would be… his wife, Lucy Crutchlow. " I think she's the only one he tells the whole truth to. " he said with a smile.
Miller, who will make his debut with Pramac Yamaha in 2025, also congratulated Jorge Martin for his historic victory as the first independent driver to win a title MotoGP in 2024. " Congratulations to all these guys. It is a credit to Paolo Campinoti and the whole team. ", added Miller.
