Not only is Miller about to embark on an adventure with KTM, after several years aboard the Borgo Panigale bike, but he’s also soon to be a father. The Australian got married to beautiful Ruby Adriana on 8 October and now the pair are going to become parents.

Jack Miller and the announcement on social media

The rider confirmed the news on his social media channels yesterday. In his post, Jack writes: “We are beyond excited - baby Miller incoming. Ruby, you are going to make the best mum. Can’t wait to meet you soon little one”.

News that will see Jack head into the 2023 season with one more reason to be happy, along with the inevitable sense of responsibility felt by every father-to-be.

Some say that a rider loses a second a lap once they become a parent, so just how will the new arrival impact on Jack’s racing career?
