“Talk to You D**kheads” – Jack Miller Boldly Responds to Maverick Vinales Drama
Follow Us
The unrest between Maverick Vinales and Yamaha is currently dominating the world of MotoGP. At the Styrian GP last weekend, those tensions escalated after the Spaniard recorded a DNF.
Along with a miserable 2021, Vinales terminated his contract with Yamaha in June. Although this means he will leave the Japanese outfit at the end of the season, there seems to be no way for it to happen in a peaceful manner.
While this situation intensifies, Australian rider Jack Miller gave his thoughts on the situation at Yamaha.

Miller made an impressive start to the season, winning the Spanish GP and French GP in succession. In addition to that, he also claimed a third-place finish in the Catalan GP last month. Currently, the Australian sits in fifth place in the championship with 100 points. He leads Vinales, who’s sixth, by five points.
After the Styrian GP last weekend, Yamaha issued a statement blaming Vinales for damaging his bike, which caused him to record a DNF. When asked about the Spaniard’s actions earlier today, he let his outspoken personality shine through, not holding back.

He said, “Sorry to say, but you’re not doing what you get paid for, which is to race a motorcycle to the best of your ability. No matter the temper or whatever. We’re not here to be an influencer, we’re not here to be whatever these idiots want to be. We get paid to race motorcycles. Full Stop. And talk to you d*ckheads.”
This response drew appreciation from several fans on Twitter, who lauded his direct approach to answer the question.

While he gave a bold response to reporters, Miller didn’t place blame on either Vinales or Yamaha. However, he stressed on what riders in MotoGP are paid to do, which is striving to be the best.
He said, “I’m not saying either party is right or wrong, it is what it is, that’s between them. But at the end of the day, it’s a relatively simple thing. You get paid to ride a motorcycle. It’s as simple as that, that’s what it is.”
