Octo Pramac Racing have announced Australian Jack Miller is to join the team for 2018, partnering Danilo Petrucci. A widely-rumoured move for some time, confirmation came on Thursday ahead of the Austrian GP that the Queenslander has signed a deal to race with the Italian outfit from next season – contracted directly to manufacturer Ducati.
Building on his stunning first premier class win in the Dutch GP last season, Miller has had a solid run of top ten form this year in what is his third season in MotoGP™ – now ready for another challenge on board Borgo Panigale machinery.
