The four-time grand prix winner signed a two-year deal to join KTM’s factory squad for 2023, after he was moved aside from the works Ducati team for Enea Bastianini at the end of last year.
The Australian only managed one grand prix podium and 11th in the standings, but stresses there have been “a lot of difficulties” that both he and the team ultimately managed “to overcome”.
When asked by Autosport after the Valencia Grand Prix season finale – in which he was leading before crashing out - if he felt like the KTM had brought out a better rider in him than the Ducati, Miller said: “I think so. I feel like every year I’ve been getting better and better.
“And yeah, if you look at results on paper this year’s probably the worst it’s been in quite a while.
“But we’ve had a lot of changes, we’ve had a lot of difficulties this season. But we’ve also overcome a lot of things.
“A lot of people were saying 12 months ago I would be out of a job this time last year.
