MotoGP Brno J2: Jack Miller (Ducati/14) teases Michelin by suspecting a national preference

Jack Miller puts up a brave face against bad luck. He had ambitions when he set up on the Brno track, just like his colleagues equipped with Ducati GP20s. But it quickly turned sour. The official Desmosedici were never in the game while at Pramac we lost from the start bagnaia on injury. The Australian tried to weather the storm but in vain. He has problems with his Michelin tire, of French origin like the first two on the starting grid. What appeals to him…

Of course, coming from Jack Miller, the approach should be taken in the second degree. And then it allows us not to dwell too much on the fact that in mind, we find above all a GP19 which has revolved around the GP20 since the start of this Grand Prix of the Czech Republic…

But the Australian still blurted out: “ all I can say today is that we have two French people in front who don't seem to have any tire problems. So please tell me what to think? It's just wonderful to see that these two boys have such excellent grip »...

“I had a wonderful day”

Returning to his performance, Jack Miller comments, always with humor: “ I had a wonderful day ". He adds : " I wish I could answer the questions. If I had done my Q1 time in Q2, it would have been on the P8 grid. I had a problem in FP3 today. The rear brake rotor was bent when we put the last tire on. My rear brake didn't work. It wasn't ideal. I didn't get a second round. Then in Q1 I failed to set a good lap time on the second attempt ". We will also remember that he was the only one to have chosen a Medium Soft suit.

Commenting on the race situation, Miller said : " Tire wear isn't really that great here, it actually applies to all drivers. We just have to wait and see what happens. It's a strange time with this tire and how it works ».

Miller, who stood on the podium with Dovizioso in Brno in 2019, concludes: “ this new tire was crazy and very unpredictable in Jerez. There was no grip from one lap to the next, then suddenly there was incredible grip again. This happened to me again today ". It will be recalled that Dovizioso will only set off 18^rd while Petrucci will start ninth.
