MotoGP Aragon-2 J2: Jack Miller (Ducati/14) also throws down the gauntlet in anger

Last week, in the official Ducati stand, we saw Andrea Dovizioso throw down his gloves in anger and disappointment after an elimination at the end of Q1 largely attributed to his teammate Petrucci. This time, it was Jack Miller who reproduced the scene in his Ducati Pramac box. As a result, no one is responsible, even if he refused his wheel to Andrea Dovizioso during this same Q1 phase. The Australian was hoping for better than a 14^rd place. He explains…

This Saturday morning, Jack Miller swore that we shouldn't worry about seeing all the Ducati at the bottom of the ranking. But this afternoon, at the end of qualifying, he changed his mind. To succeed on a Desmosedici, you had to be called Johann zarco and ride a GP19. Otherwise, we had to be content to play extras with the GP20.

The Australian recounts his bad day: “ what is going on here at Ducati? I don't know what to say, if I had the answer I would have solved the problem " begin Miller. " It just didn't work. There was no grip and that was the main problem ". On the episode Dovizioso, he simply adds: “ I didn't help him, he was right behind me, but it was nothing planned ". Atmosphere…

Tomorrow the race will be difficult and it will be for all Ducatis, despite the fact that it is the second weekend in Aragon and that the amount of data should be enough to find a little light at the end of the tunnel… “ It's the second weekend, we are on the same track and I did practically the same time » is bitterly surprised Miller which corrects: “ although in truth today's qualifying is a few tenths worse than last Saturday. I made many changes to the bike to find more rear grip, but I couldn't. I looked at Q2: in two weeks I couldn't make the last corner like the other drivers do every lap ».

“I hope for a miracle but I don’t think it will happen”

« I will continue to try to give the best of myself, even tomorrow. In the row in front of me will start Marquez and Mir, two drivers who were on the podium last week. For the rest, I can only cross my fingers and hope that something magical will happen, but I don't think it will. » comments the teammate of a bagnaia even worse off than him.

The Australian ends on the subject of the worsening of the sanctions announced in Moto3: “ I don't make the rules and I just see what the race management has done for Moto3. They decided on tougher penalties for those who waited on the track in this category, but the same thing happens in Moto2 and MotoGP. We should set a good example for younger problems, if heavier sanctions are decided, this must be done for all classes, not just one ».
