KTM brings upgrade “we asked for last year” to Malaysian MotoGP

Jack Miller and Brad Binder reflect on Friday in Sepang

A new KTM ride height device has been brought to the 2024 Malaysian MotoGP, over one year after it was requested.

In general, Miller was happy with his Friday — having made it directly into Q2 from Practice, finishing Friday afternoon in ninth place — but said that the tyre allocation was a limitation this weekend.“It’s a difficult one because we’ve kind of only got one tyre that works, the other option — the hard on the rear and the two harder fronts — are a little out the window, let’s say.”

“But this afternoon was good, threw the softs in — when we say ‘soft’, it’s actually the ‘hard’ that we have at most other tracks in terms of the front — and it was working well, pretty happy with the pace, tyres are not dropping away too bad. “The bike doesn’t want to do all that much with it and there’s a lot of floating,” Miller said of the hard-compound rear tyre, which also uses a harder construction than the medium-compound tyre.“But the rear option, I mean it wasn’t terrible but especially on the right-hand side — it’s got the harder rubber all the way across, so it’s really difficult, honestly, to get the thing to work.
