Australian MotoGP: Jack Miller: ‘Pressure is what goes into tyres, Fabio knows about that'
Miller, who is arguably the mos♏t in-form MotoGP rider heading into the final three races of the year, remains a sizable threat to Quartararo in the championship.
With that said, Ducati’s title hopes remain largely on the shoulders of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia, with the Italian just two points off Quartararo in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:standings as opposed to Miller who i༺s 40 back on the Yamaಞha rider.
Asked if 🌊he’s feeling any added pressure heading into the weekend, Miller instead turned to Quartararo in the pre🥂-event press conference.
"Pressure is what goes in tyres isn’t it? Fabio knows all about that," added the factory Du♋cati rider. "I 🀅feel like [being] 40 points back isn’t ideal, it’s less than ideal but we’ll keep doing what we’ve been doing.
"I’m enjoying riding the bike and I’m having a ball with it at the moment. If we can continue that and pull some decent results then w🌼e’ll see where we end up at the end."
Miller's comments are in 🌼reference to Quartararo having the wrong front tyre pressure during the Thailand MotoGP.
Miller doesn’t expect team orders from Ducati as the MotoGP title fight heats up
Yet to win his home race as a premier class rider, Miller is aimi💛ng to do just that on Sunday afternoon even at the risk of costing team-mate Bagnaia points.
Miller added: "These boys have got a battle between themselves. I’ll try not to do anything silly but of course, it’s every rider’s dream to win their home Grand Prix and it just feels awesome to be back here on a factory bike. There’s no doubt I’ll be going for🦄 it."
As we saw in Motegi and Buriram, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini and Miller both had moments where they bat🐻tled against Bagnaia which included making overtakes on the Italian.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Johann Zarco elected not to do so at the Thai Grand Prix despite rapidly closing in on Bagnaia during the closing stages, althoug𒆙h the Pramac rider is not a title c🌳ontender like Bastianini or Miller.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Remy Gardner hoping to fight for WorldSBK wins in 2023
Making his one and only home MotoGP appearance this weekend, Gardner was also involved in the pre-event prﷺess conference after taking part in a parade lap with Miller and fans from all over the country on Wednesday.
The Tech 3 KTM rider will join GRT Yama🃏ha next season alongside Dominique Aegerter, with the aim of returning to winning ways. However, Gardner could not h🐲ide his disappointment at the fact he will be leaving MotoGP after this season.
"It’s [WorldSBK] a new challenge for m𓃲e," stated Gardner. "I didn’t really feel like my time here in MotoGP was over but that’s the way life is and I’m always open to a new challenge.
"Hopefully I can be on a competitive package and can be fighting for podiums and maybe wins next year.ꦓ"
