Jack Miller says Yamaha’s new V4 is going in the right direction but needs “a few more horses” ahead of its next MotoGP wild-card at Sepang.
Jack Miller is satisfied with the progress of Yamaha’s new V4 MotoGP prototype but acknowledges that there is room for improvement in terms of power. The V4 will have its second wild-card entry at Sepang next weekend, where test rider Augusto Fernandez will be in action. Despite showing desired progress in rear grip, Miller acknowledges the need for more engine performance after being at the bottom of the speed charts at Misano. The Australian rider sees the V4 as a new project with promising advancements in using the rear tire for braking and acceleration without compromising the Yamaha’s renowned front-end feel and turning capabilities. With plans extending beyond 2026, Miller is optimistic about further developments and is determined to return to the front of the pack in MotoGP racing.
