Jack M✨iller was fortunate to escape inj🌌ury was he was 'thrown to the moon' by a highside during qualifying for the Austrian MotoGP.

The Assen w𝓰inner𒅌, who has only just regain full fitness after pre-season ankles injuries, was launched from his Marc VDS Honda at Turn 4.

"The first secꦓtor was good but I threw it away at turn four. I lost the front on entry and then🌠 the rear went around, got some grip and threw me to the moon with a highside," he said.

"I was really lucky to walk away from that one and then get back out for a qualifying lap. My second ꦆbike had 17 laps on the front tyre so that wasn't ideal for a fast time. But I'm feeling good about the race,💖 I think I have the pace to be coming on strong at the end."

The Australian will start Sunday's race from 20th 🥀place.
