Although Miller stated he was one of the riders who didn’t think a 🌞new asphalt was not needed - ‘all I said was the track needed a sweep’, the three-time MotoGP race winner has since claimed the recent resurfacing has provided much better grip.  

"I never said the track wasn’t ready for racing, all I said wa🐭s the track needed a sweep," said Miller.

"I d🔯idn’t think it needed the new asphalt, but I’m appreciative of them putting in the new asphalt because it’s a lot better. 

"The track is 100% ready fo💫r racing. I would like to do a practice start on the front straight just to see how it’s going."

While grip has si♑gnificantly improved compared to last month’s pre-seaso🦄n test, the newly-built Mandalika Street Circuit remains very dirty off-line, especially the front straight. 

Miller claims the track conditions will be discussed during the safety commission ahead of tomorrow's action: “I saw a couple of guys doing a practice start and it's the dirtiest and least used part of the track. It’s not a good gauge for doing a practice start. We’ll meet with the✱ safety commissio꧑n this afternoon and then make a plan.”

In terms of his position on the leaderboard, Miller♋ was fourth fastest when it came to the Italian manufacturer’s pecking order - sixth overall - however, his race pace looks even stronger.

"I had a lot of fun today," added the Australian. "They’ve done an amazing job to get the track in the condition that it’s in already. It was still a little bit dusty this morning, but it doesn’t🍨 matter ho✤w much you broom and brush the track, nothing cleans the track like motorcycles racing on it. 

"The 🌊pace is there. I did a long run in FP2 and felt pretty good. I tried the softer tyre because that’s new here and also to try and understand how it behaves after some laps on it."

During his media deb🌌rief Miller was also asked about Ducati not running a frꦗont (holeshot) device, to which the factory Ducati rider was quick not to comment.  

Miller's response: "About that (front device) I don’t really want to comment too much. We are trying devices and testi⛎ng stuff. And yeah, not much to say."
