Aussie MotoGP star Jack Miller slammed some of his rivals for complaining about having inferior bikes, telling them “not to be a f***ing princess”.

The KTM rider made his comments after finishing sixth in the German GP at the Sachsenring – the Queenslander was the only non-Ducati in the first nine.

Ducati has won 11 of 14 races so far this year.

“They’re good at the moment,” Miller said of the bike he rode for five years.

“There’s no doubting that, but they weren’t always good. We’ll get them.”

While not naming riders, Miller said other teams needed to stop whingeing.

“We’re [KTM] the only ones not complaining about our motorcycles and we’re actually trying to do something about it, to fix it. Everyone else, all they do is throw their toys out of the cot and say that ‘My bike’s s**t’. It’s as simple as that,” Miller said.

Asked why some bikes were slower, he said: “But why are they [some bikes] s**t? Because it’s their own doing. They kicked out 99 per cent of the engineers, to get his engineers.

“And now they are f**ked and he can’t even make it past a lap.

“So it’s their own doing. Everybody wants to complain about their own bikes, nobody wants to do anything about it. Shut the f**k up and get on with the job. You’re paid to ride a motorcycle not to be a f**king princess and complain about your bike.”

Honda, Yamaha and Aprilia have all failed for perform his year and are struggling to compete with the Ducatis.

Miller, who also finished third in the Saturday sprint, made his remarks after Spanish Ducati star Jorge Martin threw the 2023 MotoGP title race wide open with a winning double.

Martin piloted his Pramac Ducati to sprint and main race triumphs, both times beating home factory Ducati rider and defending champion Pecco Bagnaia. The winning margin in the Sunday race was a mere .064 secs in a stunning duel for the finish line.

Pramac Ducati teammate Johann Zarco was third, his fourth podium this year.

Martin moved to within 16 points of the Italian, while Miller is seventh on the championship ladder.
