MotoGP Misano 1 J3 Jack Miller (Ducati/5): "it was another one of those tedious days where you don't know what the problem is"

Jack Miller watched helplessly as his teammate Bagnaia was crowned in a Grand Prix at Misano where his Ducati had nevertheless taken the same tire configuration. However, the behavior of the Australian's GP21 was inexplicably different, including mysterious vibrations at the end of the race. Sixth under the checkered flag and fifth after deliberation by the commissioners, he put up a good fight against bad luck...

Jack Miller started second in this San Marino Grand Prix where he was, until his teammate's victory this Sunday, the pilot Ducati who recently ranked highest in Misano. He therefore had strong hopes of starring again, but that was without taking into account the mysterious illness which sometimes strikes the drivers' tires. He says : " the winner Bagnaia had the same tire combination as me, namely hard at the front and soft at the rear. So I don't think it was the tire choice that made me fall behind ", said the pilot Ducati.

« At the start of the race I was very comfortable with Pecco, but I suddenly had vibrations in the middle and end of the race. That was my biggest problem. It's a shame because I felt quite comfortable at that time. I can't tell exactly where the vibrations are coming from. We need to analyze how these problems appeared and why they appeared in the race ».

Jack Miller: “congratulations to Pecco! »

While Miller was falling behind, his teammate at Lenovo Ducati, Pecco Bagnaia, took his second consecutive victory in MotoGP. “ Congratulations to Pecco! In my opinion, It was another one of those tedious days where you don't know what the problem is …We need to analyze my data and find out what exactly happened and how it can be avoided in the future “, said the Australian.

Many MotoGP riders struggled with tire wear at Misano. The wear on the left side was much more severe than on the right. Miller also complained, but for him the vibration problem was more important. The Ducati factory rider said his race pace suffered greatly as a result. Next Tuesday and Wednesday there will be tests at Misano.
