Starting 12th, Miller was lucky to avoid the initial pi💙le-up triggered by Enea Bastianini🌳, that also took out Johann Zarco, Alex Marquez, Fabio di Giannantonio, and Marco Bezzecchi.

Bꩵut his relief was short lived when he found himself caught up in the aftermath of Francesco Bagnaia’s huge highside.

After being launched from the lead on the exit of the first chicane, Bagnaia landed in the middle of the track. Debris from his Ducati damaged the KTM of Miller’s team-mate Brad Binder, who couldn’t avoid ru🀅nning over the Italian’s legs.

Whꩵile Bastianini suffered ankle and hand💮 fractures, Bagnaia miraculously escaped any serious injury.

“I got a decent📖 start, braked pretty late up the inside, then Bastianini centred in from a long way back,” Miller said. “As soon as I saw his wheel start hopping I thought ‘here we🐭 go!’

“So I braked a little more and, sure enough, ဣit was dominoes at Turn 1.

“Then Pecco got a💛 cold tyre and sent himself ཧfor six. I tried to avoid everything, Pecco and the bike.

“Brad copped that ⛎piece of shit in the radiator or whatever. It started pissing [fluid] out. There was stuff f♒lying, like spraying everywhere.

“Brad jumped Pecco as well, the💞n crashed when he landed, I don’t know if stuff went on the tyre. Then I had his bike in front of me. I ended up jumping the back of Brad’s bike, smashed my front guard off but managed to stay on it somehow.

“Then came back and re-set.”

The restart saw Miller up to sixth on the opening lap, befoಌre losing out to Alex Marquez and Fabio Quartararo. The trio crossed the line covered 🌳by just a few tenths of a second.

“I wasn’t very happy in warm-up so I gave the boys my feedback, said we needed to do something radical for the 💦race, and it was good,” said Miller, who had reverted to his front-end style bike balance this weekend.

“It took me five or six laps just to understand what the bike was doing to get the most out of it because they changeꦉd the ride height, length and certain parts a massive a🥂mount.

“I was happy with the result. W꧅e made some headway. Couple of mistakes early on - my front right-hand side of the tyre went off a little earlier than I would have liked.

“You could tell by the braking at Turn 1, people missing their braking points and not being able to stop. That ♉happened to me a little bit earlier [than the others] and then you start readjusting.

“But I was able to stay fighting with the boys until the end. I kind of didn’t know it was the last lap! Fabio was pushing hard to Alex and I was pushing Fabio really hard🤪 but ran out of time.

“But happy to have a str𒁏ong finish to the race, fight and be cꦰloser to the front than the Sprint.”

The Australian added: “We’ve made a big step today for sure, which is nice because we’ve been playing a lot, in these lowꦅ grip conditions, trying to unde💎rstand what we need to do to create grip and feeling and corner-speed.

“We were able to find that today, a bit and will keep playing 🐼arounܫd with that.

“Now we go to Misano next week which is a higher-grip track, like Jerez. So we can run our more standaꦿrd style set-up and it should work pretty good.”

Miller is no꧑w ninth in the world championship, nine points behind Aprilia podium finisher Maverick Vinales.

Binder retired with a technical issue early in the ♍restart🧔.
