168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Miller broke a six-race points drought with a "dogfight" to seventh at the British MotoGP.

Heartbreak for Fabio Quartararo, forced to reti𝔍re from the lead with a ride-height device failure, meaꦆnt Miller was also the top Yamaha at the chequered flag.

Quartararo and Miller made ful💜l use of their soft front tyres to hold first and second in the early stages of the restarted r꧋ace.

But while the Frenchman broke away to a near five-second lead by the time of his retirement, Miller was swallowed by the chasing pack and had to fight🎃♓ tooth and nail.

“I tried to go 🎶a similar pace to Fabio at the beginning, but to be honest, I understood after probably 3-4 laps that wasn't going to be feasible for the duration of the race,” Miller said.

“Just because of the way I was having to carry corner speed and force the front tyre to turn the bike through corn♋ers like Turn 5, I was really using a lot of the edge.

“But I was able💮 to switch my lines to kiꦫnd of cut through the wind a little bit more, and that was better.”

After dropping to sixth in the middle stages, 🌜Miller climbed back up to fourth behind eventual thir👍d-place finisher Marc Marquez heading into the final laps.

But they weren’t alone.

Jack Miller: “All hell broke loose”

“I kind of settled in comfy there behind Marc. Then, with about four laps to go, I could see Marc's pace dropped a ꦛlittle bit," Miller said.

“I was just sizꩵin♔g up where I could maybe make a move on him and right at that moment, Morbidelli came through and then all hell broke loose with myself, him, and Alex [Marquez].

“I was trying to do what I cou🐬ld to keep those boys at bay. But it's tough when you get into that sort of dogfight. We've got a really strong package, but we've got to ride our lines and keep the momentum up.

“If anything upsets that mid-corner, whether it be having to park it,🅺 block pass or whatever, it's hard to get that momentum going again. You need a little bit of time to regroup and bounce bඣack.

“Whereas they're able to park it, squirt it, and not lose all that much time. So we'll work o💝n that.”

Miller crossed the finish line 1.4s from the Marquez-Morbidelli podiu🦋m battle, and just a few tenths ahead of Luca Marini (Honda).

“Devastated for Fabio Quartararo”

While Miller’s nine points were welcome for Yamaha, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo had been firmly on course for the manufacturer’s first MotoGP victo✨ry sꦉince 2022.

“Obviously devastated for Fabio,” Miller said. “I mean, today, hꦇe had it in his pocket. He was gone like the wind. There wasn’t mu🧸ch I could do!”

Asked where Quartararo had found that red🀅-hot pace, the Australian replied:

“I think, following t🐎he Ducatis, they seemed to be struggling a little bit more ꦕto maybe turn through the wind than we were. Obviously, that's the downside to having that many wings on the bike.

“Then, with that soft front tyre, Fabio was able to just push from theඣ beginning. He knew where his marks were and rode within his comfort zone. Today, his comfort zone was that step in front of everybody else.”

Having a clear track ahead also meant the Frenchm♏an avoided the momentum-killing battles that Miller was involved in.

🅰“Exactly, a clear track, so yo𒊎u can brake where you need to brake, carry the corner speed, and ride the bike how you need to ride it,” he said.

Silverstone was the second grand prix🏅 in a row where Yamaha had a chance of winning, after Miller cras♐hed out early in the wet Le Mans race while ten seconds clear of eventual winner Johann Zarco.

“We're pleasantly surprised [Yamaha is fighting for wins already], but✃ at the same time, we’ll keep working to make this thing better,” Miller said.

“We've come forwards in leaps and bounds and obviously the progress isn't always going to be that rapid, but like I've said all ౠalong, the bones of the bike are good and we're slowly but sure🌼ly improving it. We're on the way.”

Quarta💟raro’s factory team-mate Alex Rins was the next-best Yamaha in 14th, with Miller’s Pramac team-mate Miguel Oliveira finishing 16th.
