Whether it would have been enough for pole position at the Valencia MotoGP, Jack Miller felt there was more potential to be shown in qualifying before suffering a turn two crash.

Miller was second behind 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin for much of Q2 before he crashed at turn two, a mistake that allowed six-time MotoGP champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez t♏o get ahead of🐓 him without having the chance to respond.

But while Miller’s qualify🔯ing came to 𝕴an early end, the soon-to-be KTM rider remains a clear contender in the battle for victory on Sunday after retaining a front row start.

Add to that Miller has been one of the fastest riders when it comes to race pace, thus a potential win in 🉐his final race for Ducati can’t be dismissed. 

Speaking after qualifying, Miller said: "It’s really important here to be on those first two rows. It’s not an easy track to pass even if there’s quite a bit of speed difference. I was really happy, especially on that first tyre to see a ꩵ29.8s. 

"I felt like 💛it wasn’t the best lap and that I could do more and on that second lap I was throwing everything at it. I knew I had a dece♛nt banker and I probably got a little bit carried away. 

"I didn’t even make it past turn two🍷 so clearly I got carried away. But it’s been an awesome weekend and we’ve had a good pace."

Like Marquez, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo and a few other expected contenders, Miller used FP4 to generate pl🃏enty of data ahead 𓆉of the season-finale.

Included in that was🤪 a misjudgment from his♊ crew chief who told Miller he completed an 18-lap run, which later turned out to be a 20-lap stint.   

"Yeah I think so," added Miller when talking of his chances to fight for the win. "I mean the 20-lap run in FP4 - again my crew chief lied to me and told me it w🍌as 18 but it turned out to be 2ꦛ0 laps. 

"The pace is there and when you can ride t🐠he bike freely then the lap time comes to you - I don’t want to sa🦩y easy because riding a MotoGP bike is not easy, but it comes easier than at some other tracks. 

"We’re in good shape for tomorrow’s race but Marc is hungry and🦂 is riding well. Jorge is fast here. 

"He was on the podium las💦t year and I followed him for the majority of the race. I know those bikes can go fast around here."
