Jack Miller is smiling at the end of a thunderous Aragón Grand Prix where he finished third. From the fire of “Jack Dios”, the Australian was able to carry, alongsideAndrea Dovizioso, flying the colors of the Borgo Panigale house on a Ducati from a satellite team, Pramac Racing. All the more beautiful when the second official of the brand, Danilo Petrucci, finished twelfth.

As soon as the wild beasts were released, the 24-year-old pilot had the wind in his sails, quickly occupying the front posts. He himself said it before departure: “ I'm very fast and I'm convinced I can make a podium »

After the race, the teammate of Francesco Bagnaia commented on his feat of the day: “ jgot a good start behind Fabio who drove cautiously, who acted more as an observer during the first laps. After 12 rounds, when I saw how Marc Marquez had left us behind, I told myself that it was not possible to catch up with him and that I had to manage my race »

“Jack Dios” continues: “ I had a really good rhythm. When Maverick Vinales overtook me, I saw the state of his tire and I bided my time to attack in my turn, much later. Especially since I also had to think about the wear of my tires just like him. Andrea Dovizioso then overtook me a little sharply but, well, he was much faster than me, I could see it from what was being posted to me. So I tried not to get carried away and stay as calm as possible. I'm happy to be back here and to have finished on the podium. I am now looking forward to the overseas tour, we are arriving there in excellent spirits »

Jack Miller is currently 8th in the championship with 117 points. With his good result in Aragón, the Australian is only 6 points (117/123) behind Fabio Quartararo who currently dominates the ranking of independent drivers.

The objective is clear for the 24-year-old driver: to be first in the ranking of independent drivers this season.

“Fabio is working hard this year, but we are also doing a good job and I am very motivated for next season. Thailand, Japan and especially Phillip Island are tracks that I am looking forward to, to see what we can do. I'm all in and want the best work possible. Most of the weekend we were the best Ducati so I am convinced that we are on the right path, that of success, without a doubt. » concludes the man who has been on the podium three times including Aragón this season (Grand Prix of the Americas and Czech Republic), and it is perhaps not over!
