Despite a slight disappointment in qualifying, Jack Miller intends to regain his form from the start of the season tomorrow to achieve a new top ten at the finish of the San Marino Grand Prix.
Downgraded in Q1 for having exceeded the limits of the track at turn number eleven, the return right which takes full throttle, the driver of Team Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS will start tomorrow from the fourteenth place on the starting grid .
To Miller, looking for redemption after a series of difficult races, the sanction was all the more bitter as the Australian had secured a passage to Q2 and therefore a guaranteed place in the top twelve.
Deprived of his lap in 1'33.548, the Australian still had time to demonstrate his progress in chasing the time and his performance on new tires. Miller in fact improved his best time in free practice by more than a second in Q1.
Impressive in FP3 with a solid twelfth time, Rabat did not succeed in achieving its performance in qualifying.
The Spaniard will start from eighteenth place on the grid, but he is well known for his determination and his ability to go for points.
The San Marino Grand Prix, organized in Misano and comprising twenty-eight laps of racing, is the thirteenth event of the MotoGP world championship.
Jack Miller: 14th – 1'33.933
« I'm very disappointed that my time was canceled because I really made a big effort and I really feel like it's not racing. But hey, I didn't review the images to check if I was really off the track, and if that's the case I can understand this decision. The positive point is that I have good pace for the race and my time is not ridiculous given the conditions of the weekend. The weather forecast looks to be rainy for tomorrow, and we will have to prepare for it. But whatever it is, I feel ready to fight to get a few points »
Tito Rabat: 18th – 1'34.095
« I did the twelfth time in free practice and that's a good sign for the race. Unfortunately I had problems with a worn tire in FP4 and qualifying is definitely not the easiest thing for me. But as always, I will give one hundred percent tomorrow. All that remains is to know what the weather will have in store for us. »
Michael Bartholemy: Team Principal
« At the start of the session, we found the Jack Miller from the start of the season, the one who had managed to string together several top tens. Jack did his best time on his own and he could think about Q2. He deserved it, but it didn't happen that way and we have to live with this decision. Tito was also impressive. He was in third position after his first run, but unfortunately he was unable to get the most out of his tires during his second run. However, I think that both Jack and Tito have the potential to finish in the points tomorrow.. »
