Jack Miller’s hopes of a home MotoGP victory came to an abrupt end on Sunday at the corner named after the Australian just 24 hours before. A misjudged move by LCR’s Alex Marquez just nine laps in resulted in the Ducati being shunted from behind and out of the race before he even knew what hit him.
Something he was all too aware off after the race. “I feel like I’ve been run over by a motorcycle that’s for certain!” Miller said on Sunday afternoon. “I got jammed between his front tyre and the tank so the family jewel area is not feeling too great, back’s a bit stiff and the rest, but I’ll be right in a couple of days.
We don’t really have too much turn around, but I’ll be right come Malaysia. “It’s unfortunate what happened, I couldn’t really do nothing in that situation,” he continued. “Race was going good, felt good, the bike is working really well.
We made some changes overnight and I was really happy with how the bike was behaving, especially in the wind. Was able to come through relatively quick, felt good.
