MotoGP Argentina: ‘Ban unfair, they can catch up or not’ - Miller

Ducati Lenovo’s Jack Miller returns to the scene of the crime this weekend after his 2018 bravery failed to award him with the win in a chaotic Argentine GP.

The, then, satellite rider has never forgotten what should have been his, but remains enamoured with the 4.8km Termas De Rio Honda Circuit awaiting him once more.

“I was robbed of a victory here,” a newly engaged Miller confirmed from the Termas paddock. “I should have four on my card but it’s stolen from me but I’m not pissed off. It’s a track I like, it’s fantastic first of all to be back here in Argentina. I really enjoy this track, the layout or I’m not exactly sure what it is. It’s kind of got a bit of everything.

“Excited to get underway this weekend,” he continued. “It seems like we got a little bit of a delayed start but nonetheless, I know the powers that be are working really hard to get us underway and I have no doubt we will have a great Argentinian Grand Prix come Sunday.”

The delay comes after part of the paddock infrastructure failed to arrive into South America from Indonesia, due to technical issues in transit. While the factory Ducati team seem to have got off lightly, its satellite partners Mooney VR46 and Gresini Racing are bearing the brunt, with absolutely nothing in their possession at present.

“We have been rather fortunate to be honest,” Miller explained. “We’re just missing basically the box itself, the panels. Fortunately for us, we have received both motorcycles and at least enough tools that they’re able to work on the bike and get our bikes prepared. So the mechanics have been rather lucky there.

“With our luck, I think we are fortunate enough like I said to be able to prepare the bikes after last race to get them ready for this race
