Apart from veteran Valentino Rossi and Aprilia rider Aleix Espargaro, all other riders in the 2021 MotoGP season were born in 1990 or later. What does Ducati rider Jack Miller say about the generation change in the premier class?
“It’s great to see young blood. The time has come,” notes Miller. “Many of the guys have been here for a very long time. Farewells are always sad, but it creates great hope for the new generation of drivers. That’s normal. Time goes on.”

“People keep moving. It’s great to see new young drivers,” said the 25-year-old Australian, welcoming new names. Miller will start for the Ducati factory team in 2021 and will take on the role of team leader at the age of just 26, because Ducati will be relying entirely on the young in the coming year.
With Moto2 world champion Enea Bastianini, ex-Moto3 world champion Jorge Martin and Moto2 race winner Luca Marini, Ducati is bringing three young riders from Moto2 to MotoGP. The Italians hope to have signed the next over talent. Last year, Fabio Quartararo surprised. Last season, Joan Mir attracted interest.

“Maybe the next Fabio will sit on a Ducati and make us all look stupid. We’ll have to wait and see,” says Miller, who knows from experience that young drivers sometimes get along better because they don’t have a certain feeling .
Fabio Quartararo, Joan Mir, Brad Binder and Francesco Bagnaia left their much more experienced brand colleagues behind them a few times. “There’s always something new to learn,” said Miller. who does not yet have too great expectations of the newcomers: “Let’s wait and see. We have to see how they cope with the climb. You can never say that before they have been on the motorcycle.”
