In MotoGP, the show is on all levels this year. Including off the track! The proof with this racing incident between Bautista and Miller which continued in the gravel trap with a physical challenge between the two men. The Australian was fined by the race director. Here is the Spanish version.

Alvaro Bautista can have as many regrets as Jack Miller leaving the Jerez route. Points and doors to the top 5 were possible but instead the two ended up on the floor together. On the incident, the Ducati Aspar rider explains: “ I tried to pass Miller on the inside of the corner and maybe the track was more slippery there. I lost the front end and unfortunately I took it with me soft ».

« When you start from afar these are things that happen especially when your pace is higher than your starting position. I understand the immense disappointment in these moments, but pushing another driver does not reflect well on our sport. Kicking your bike is no more acceptable because my bike has nothing to do with it ».

« I don't know if he deserves a sanction or not for that and it's not my responsibility. It's a racing incident. Miller came into the box to ask for an explanation. It's true that at the start of the races we saw drivers overtaking outside the limits of the track and pushing other drivers. I was holding my line and I lost the lead. He understood, he apologized for the gesture and we agreed that it could happen during the race ».

« I crashed and took another rider with me and that's not what makes me happy. I was behind Petrucci who finished seventh, I felt good and I took things calmly because I knew that the second part of the race would be important ". Alas, he never saw her.
