Jack Miller endured a difficult first Qatar MotoGP Grand Prix with a ni🌠nth place finish after qualifying fifth. 

The Australian was running second afܫter a good start, but slowly dropped dow🌱n the pack as he struggled with tyre degradation. 

Miller sufferedꦺ rear grip issues after trying to increase his pace once race winner Maverick Vinales went ahead of him.&nbs🎐p;

It was certainly a suprise to༒ see, as Miller was consistently one of the fastest riders throughout the weekend both over one lap and on race runs.&꧙nbsp;

Miller’s team-mate Francesco Bagnaia and Pramac Ducati rider Johann Zarco didn🧜’t suffer the same issues as they both finished on the podium. 

But with a second Grand Prix this weekend around the Losail International Circuit, Miller is hoping the data gathered can find him a better ‘solution’ for the racওe. 

"The Qatar GP didn’t go exactly as I expected. After being a🌼t the top at the end of free practices and after a good qualifying, I was hoping for a better result in the race," said Miller.  

"Unfortunately, after a good start, I couldn’t ride as I wanted in the se🌜cond part of the♚ competition. 

"The positive thing is that now we have 𒀰real feedback on what can happen in the race, so we will work on the data from last Sunday to find a solution that will allow me to be more c♊ompetitive in the Doha GP. I am sure that we can fight for a good result."
