MotoGP Austria J2, Jack Miller (Yamaha Q20/S17): "The grip is non-existent"

Rarely have we seen the Yamahas in such difficulty as in Austria this season, and Jack Miller is no exception to the Japanese manufacturer's misfortune. They are nowhere to be seen, as evidenced by the fact that none of them made it into Q2, and only Fabio Quartararo, as always, stood out somewhat during the Sprint, then in a battle with Jorge Martin. Jack Miller, whose future remains uncertain as of this writing, appeared very disappointed when talking about his day.

Grip is a big problem for Yamaha, and it's hard to explain why. « We have trouble with the grip, it is non-existent. I got off to a good start, Pecco went wide at one point, and he suddenly came back to me, I preferred to let go to avoid any risk. But it slowed me down a lot, and it allowed Martin and Mir to pass" he declared to our microphones.

 

 

So, it's quite difficult to imagine a more radiant Sunday for the men of the brand with the tuning forks. « We need to find some grip in the rearIt's a combination of factors. The tires here are very specific, and the track itself doesn't have much grip. Of course, I didn't give up and I gave 100%." he continued.

 

 

Jack Miller has already found some speed on the Yamaha YZR-M1 this season, but it must be said that he has been feeling the strain for several Grands Prix. This obviously doesn't work in his favor at a time when transfer rumors are rife. On the other hand, Rins and Oliveira suffered a similar fate, which, one imagines, lessens the personal disappointment.
