Jack Miller: “Down I went… A shame, but the pace is there”
Pramac bullish despite J𝄹ack Miller heading for Qualifying 1 at the Spanish MotoGP: “Old-school circuit really suits the Yamaha”
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller believes “the pace is there” despite a late Friday practice crash sending him into Q1 at the Spanish MotoGP.
The 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pramac Yamaha rider was on course to secure 🦄direct Q2 access when a Turn 7 tumble, during his final time attack, ended his hopes.
“It’s a shame, but the pace is there. The feeling on the bike was good right from 🉐the morning," said Miller, who began the day promisingly with sixth in FP1.
"On my first lap with the new tyre, I was behind Marc but we hit a yellow flag, so we had to abo♏rt. That still ended up being my best lap.”
On his second attempt, Miller pushed again, thi♊s time behind former Ducati team-mate Francesco Bagnaia.
The Australian saved a front-end tuck at Turn 1 but then overloaded the front again while chasing the red mach☂ine.
“On the second♚ tyre, I was following Pecco and tucked the front at T🦄urn 1, but I managed to save it. Still, I lost some time and had to push hard through the next two corners to close the gap,” he said.
“I was feeling strong. But I cam🧜e into Turn 7 a bit hot, didn’t get much stopping from the rear, forced the front a little, and the bike just gave up - down I went.
"We jusওt need a bit more support from the engine braking, and I’m confi♈dent we’ll get that sorted for tomorrow.”
Miller’s best time was only 0.235s off the Q2 cut, while Monster Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo underlined the pot🌌ential of the M1 at Jerez by le🅘ading the session on his way to fifth.
“Thiღs ol♎d-school circuit really seems to suit the Yamaha,” said Pramac team manager Gino Borsoi.
“We’re obviously disappointed by Jack’s crash, which cost him a Q2 spot that was well w꧑ithin reach.
“But his pace,✨ both over one lapꦓ and in race trim, is very encouraging. That gives me a lot of confidence heading into the Sprint and Sunday.”
On the other side of the Pram▨ac garage, Augusto Fernandez ended the day i🌄n 20th.
“We had to make some setup changes, and that gave me a better feeling,” Fernandez said. “But we’re still not getting much support🍰 from the rear, which is making things tricky.
"The front end feels great - you can see that from Fabio’s pace - and we’re narrowing the gap.”
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has see෴n Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
