It’s Jackass Miller’s home GP at Phillip Island, the greatest MotoGP circuit of all. Let’s look at a few numerical facts about Jack.
2
The points difference between Jack and the winner Alex Marquez in the 2014 Moto3 series. For some crazy reason, Honda took this as a sign to introduce the Aussie straight into MotoGP.
3
Three riders were jacked at the Thai MotoGP race a few weeks ago, with no penalty. This angered former rival Alex Marquez, who was given a lap-long penalty for only hitting one man in Japan. And that one person was Joan Mir, who was 99% sure to fall on the end of his lap anyway.
4
The corner number on Phillip Island is now named after Jack Miller, also the corner where he was injured the other year by… wait a minute… Alex Marquez??? What are these two people?
5
Five years separate Jacques’ first and second MotoGP wins: Assen 2016 and Jerez 2021. That’s longer than the gap between Marc Marquez’s first two wins, but hey, who’s counting?
6
Jack’s number of wins in his last Moto3 race. He had to move up because he ran out of fingers on one hand to count his winnings, which confused the hell out of him.
10
How many pole positions has Jack achieved in his Grand Prix career: 8 in Moto3 and 2 in MotoGP. It was 2019 before Jack realized that he could easily count this high using the fingers on both hands.
15
Jack’s age leaves the world of education. Frankly, that makes him an emeritus professor in the MotoGP paddock, and also means he’s almost qualified to become an Australian police officer.
29
Jack’s current age should be the age where he should be heading to World Superbike but for some reason he’s been hired by Pramac Yamaha MotoGP who are totally fine with that and have never been threatened by Dorna in any way. Sanctions if you do not hire him.
43
The seed number used by Jack. He is perfectly capable of calculating both those figures separately.
173
His height in centimeters is about 5 feet 8. It must be said that it is at the top of the MotoGP paddock.
190,000
Number of Twitter followers Jack has. If they all drink when he crashes, they’ll collectively drink as much alcohol as the average MotoGPNews contributor does during a MotoGPNews race.
