Jack Miller: I thought ‘Oh shit, I’m in the top five here’
"When I passed Marc 🧸and Enea, I thought ‘Oh shit, I’m in the top five herജe."

After a disastrous opening lap a week earlier in Indonesia, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Miller stormed from 14th to 5th on the opening lap of the Japanese MotoGP.
The factory KTM rid🉐er, whose first-lap fall brought down th෴ree others at Mandalika, picked his lines perfectly this time around.
Hu𓆉gging the inside through the opening corners Miller initially settled into ninth place, 🦄before Franco Morbidelli and Maverick Vinales were forced wide ahead.
Miller then outbraked both Marc Marquez an𝔉d Enea Bastianini to snatch a surprise fifth place at the end of t꧙he back straight.
“I ca🔯n generally get away well and pick my lines pretty good on the first lap - obviously last week not included becausꦛe I managed to mess that up!” said Miller.
“But I was happy to get a de🔥cent jump and to pass nearly ten blokes on the♔ first lap was nice.

“I was in the right spot at the right time to be honest. I was just was able to hold the inside when there was a bit of chaos on the outside. Just roll the kerb, keep it tight and stay out oꦛf drama.
“🅷It was fun to be there. Going d𝕴own the back straight when I passed Marc and Enea into Turn 11, I thought ‘Oh shit, I’m in the top five here. ’
“But the anchor soon got ꦗt💫hrown out and the boys started coming back past me pretty fast.”
Miller remained in the top six until lap 6 of 24, when he was overtaken by♍ Franco Morbidelli and Marco Bezzecchi in quick succession.
Fabio di Giannantonio demoted the A𒐪ustralian to eighth by the midway stage, when admits he was h⛄oping the drizzle would increase.
“I was hoping and praying it was going to come down a little bit more, because those boys 🐎[ahead] had e🎶ked out a fair bit by that point, but I could still see them.
“But it was only th🦄e slightes🧸t of drizzle, nothing like Moto2 had.”
Miller, like many riders, spent the remainder of the race batt𝄹le for rear grip, crossing the line in tenth place.
“It was gnarly trying to get the thing off the corners at the end there, trying to use all the paint🐷 you can because it’s the only place that it seemed to find grip,” he said.
“We’re struggling a bit with mid-corner and co🐎rner exit speed. The front is stable and it stayed solid all race but we still have some work to do.
“This hard-braking track was good for u🍌s. We’ll come back next week and give it a crack at the Island and see ꦏhow it goes there.”
Team-mate Brad Binder finished in sixth place.
Miller’s home Australian Graꦺnd Prix takes pl🐷ace from October 18-20.
