Jack Miller...Factory rider from the 2021 MotoGP season.

Jack Miller has impressed everyone in the MotoGP Paddock with his performances at Pramac Ducati, with his regular podium finisher over the last two seasons firmly establishing the Australian as a leading prospect for a factory Ducati deal. In his first five years in the premier class, he has managed to win the Dutch GP in 2016 and has finished on the podium on numerous occasions at many differing circuits.

Four years ago on this date Malachi Mitchell Thomas was racing at the Northwest 200 in Northern Ireland. The Road Racing family already knew about Mal' especially John Burrows, who had taken him under his wing and had signed Mal' to ride for his Burrows Engineering team.
