The European Grand Prix was not easy for Jack Miller who readily called himself a “kamikaze” to get sixth place in the final. It's the best ranking for a Ducati, but by riding like this he learned a lot for the next Grand Prix which will take place this Sunday... At the same place, in Valencia...
Jack Miller worked to bring the points from sixth place to Ducati. The Australian explains his epic thus: “ initially it was a bit kamikaze style. I crossed paths with Fabio Quartararo at turn 2 and Alex Márquez at turn 4. Then I found a good rhythm, but behind Zarco and Dovizioso I lost time again, so the Kamikaze continued ».
But that wasn’t enough to secure a top 5: “ I was late for Miguel Oliveira. Maybe it's because we opted for the harder version for the front tire. This prevented me from getting the temperature in on the right side of the tire. Maybe it wasn't the right decision. Only in the end did I benefit from it, but I couldn't take advantage of it. However, I had fun and the race went well, although more would have been possible “, declared the ninth in the championship.
“Some maneuvers were not necessary”
To better remember Ducati to his duties, Miller praises competition: “ Suzuki has a great package. We must have the same next year. They have already shown what they can do on Saturday and they can get off to a good start ».
Regarding his on-track struggles, he says: “ the other drivers weren't really over the limit, but it was starting to reach it. I can understand that. It is difficult to overtake here, but some maneuvers were not necessary this way. In the end, it's a game and we fight for the championship ».
What conclusions did he draw for the second race in Valencia this weekend? “ You have to be a little higher on the grid to stay out of midfield. Then we will put the soft front tire and it will be a little better ". There's just !
