Valencia MotoGP: Jack Miller: ‘Clearly I got carried away, again my crew chief lied to me…’

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澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin for much of Q2 before he crashed at turn two, a mistake that allowed six-time MotoGP champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez to get ahead of him wit🦋hout having the chance to resp🌜ond.

But while Miller’s qualifying came to an early end, the soon-to-be KTM rider rema♈ins 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 qualiꦰfying, Miller said: "It’s really important here 𒅌to 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 29.8s. 

"I felt like it wasn’t the best la𓂃p and that I could do more and on that second lap I was throwing everything🏅 at it. I knew I had a decent 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 ൩it’s been an awesome wee𝓰kend and we’ve had a good pace."

Like Marquez, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo and a few other expected contenders, Mill🌜er used FP4 to generate plenty of data ahead of 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. &nb🐼sp; 

"Yeah I thi⛦nk 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 was 18 but it turned out to be 20 laps. 

"ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚThe pace is there and when you can ride the bike freely then the lap time comes to you - I don’t want to say 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 wel🌸l. Jorge is fast here. 

"He was on t𝕴he podium last year and I follꦚowed him for the majority of the race. I know those bikes can go fast around here."
