Alma Pramac Ducati team-mates Jack Miller and Danilo Petrucci had a Friday night scare when they fell moments ap🐼art, at the same corner, during MotoGP testing in Qatar.

Miller was the first to go down, at Turn 1:

"I was testing a different bike geometry. I was struggling on braking already, but that was a really weird spot," explained t⭕he Australian.

"The🗹 problem was I crashed, then [Petrucci] crashed. The black lines were in the same spot and there wasn't much angle. I was going pretty bloody quick when I lost the front, my suit was destroyed and I was lucky to get away with all my skin left.

"By the time I stopped sliding and stood up, I looked back at the track and I just saw him and thought, 'oh shit, try 👍and a⛄void the bike'.

"I don't really ♔know what happened, it was qui꧋te strange for us both to crash like that.

"He was too far away for it 🦄to be that he got scared or distracted by my fall."

Petrucci confirmed he hadn't been aware that his team-🌃mate was down until his own accident.

"It was a strange crash because at Turn 1 I braked like the previous lap, the same point, same speed, but I crashed… And when I crashed I saw a man standing in the gravel. It was my team-mate," said the Italian, who rides a GP18 while Mil𓂃ler has the GP17.

"We crashed in the same way in the same point. I crashed five seconds later than him. We still don’t kn▨ow what happened. It was a scary moment, but more for Jack beca♕use I arrived at full speed, crashing…"

After a delay for repairs Petrucci went on to set 💖the eighth fastest lap (+0.6s), using the medium tyres 🎃rather than soft. But the Friday night scares were not over for Italian…

"I stayed in the pits for two hours but𓄧 when I went back to the track I have been very quick from the beginning and set my best lap time with a medium front and medium rear. "Then I tried the new fairing but only one run.

"Some positive things, but we lose all the advantage we had on♉ the straight. Here it's quite easy for us to stay in fro✃nt in the straight. We have to decide which fairing to homologate [for the first race] and I think regarding me I will use the standard one.

"Then I decided to push with a soft tyre on the rear but we had a pr♚oblem with the cꦿlutch.

"I went on track again and Rabat crashed in front of me. Then I was pushing again 🦩try🌺ing to reach Luthi and in Turn 9 he lost the front and stayed in the middle of the track and I almost hit him on the back.

"So I said, 'okay, we already did some damage for today, it's enough!' But I'm quite happy even༒ if I onl💝y did a few laps."

Miller was one place behind Petrucci on t✃he timesheets, in ninth.
