Jack Miller is trying to find answers for KTM’s lack of race pace in the MotoGP French Grand Prix after describing the situation as a ‘head-scratcher’.
KTM endured its worst outing of the 2024 season at Le Mans, with Brad Binder the only rider out of its four-strong contingent to finish inside the top 10 on Sunday.

'Saturday afternoon I really struggled a lot on Turn 1 and same today.
