If it weren't for his resounding success at Assen, Miller's MotoGP season would look like a complete disaster. Injuries, withdrawals and especially falls. He only has ten Grands Prix to his credit following his forced absences, and yet it is he who is at the top of the little-valued accident ranking. This weekend, he will set foot on his native soil. A fitting meeting.
And for the latter, he will try not to fall. The weather is likely to be complicated, of the kind that gave him the keys to success in the Netherlands. He is even his illustrious compatriot Mick doohan to be ready to put a coin on his helmet. Certainly, but in Assen, Márquez was champing at the bit as he moved on to the title. However, the latter is acquired from Motegi.
So what's in store for us? Miller his home ? “ I can't wait to be there and drive in front of my audiencec” declares Estrella Galicia driver Marc VDS. “ It will be special to be there as a Grand Prix winner and my ambition will be to bounce back after a complicated meeting at Motegi to say the least. I love Phillip Island and hope we find something on the bike that will give me the confidence to push it to the limit ».
« Last year, I was quite fast with the bike in the Open class and I'm going there determined to turn the wheel of a particularly hard season for me so far. There will be some pressure at home but it also feels good to know that the fans have come just to see you. It's a pressure that I will feed off and try to give Australians something to be satisfied with. ». Jack Miller is one of the twelve Australians who have won in the premier category.
In 2014, he experienced the joy of success at home. It was the time of KTM and Moto3 then. Miller is 21 years old. As Maverick Vinales.
