Rising Australian racer Jack Miller will become the first rider to move straight from Moto3 to MotoGP in 2015, skipping the Moto2 class completely, the Australian Grand Prix Corporation said on Thursday.
Miller, who leads the Moto3 world championship by nine points, has signed a deal to ride for LCR Honda on a Honda RC213V-RS bike.
The 19-year-old, who is currently with the Red Bull KTM Ajo team, will ride alongside experienced Briton Cal Crutchlow at LCR next season.
"It's a dream come true. I think that every rider would like to race at the highest level in the world championship with a Honda," Miller said in a statement.
"It is certainly a big jump from Moto3 to MotoGP, but I am convinced that we are ready and that, step-by-step, learning every day, we can do a great job."
Miller will follow a similar path to compatriot and two-time MotoGP world champion Casey Stoner, who also rode for the Red Bull KTM Ajo team and made his premier class debut with LCR Honda in 2006.
