Jack Miller’s (EG 0,0 Marc VDS) form so far in 2017 deserves its own headlines, and the Assen 2016 winner was fastest on Friday and got another impressive top ten finish at Le Mans. Saturday for Miller was headlined more by a huge crash, but the Queenslander fought through the pain barrier on Sunday and took eighth.
Miller even improved his laptime in Q2 shortly after the crash, and the 2016 Assen winner was given the all-ok. Now, it’s a little R&R to come back stronger in Mugello.
Jack Miller, P8: “I was a little fortunate today with some other riders having problems but in racing you have to be in it at the finish to get the best result and that’s what we did. Considering my physical condition I think I rode a good race despite struggling to pick the bike up on corner exit. I’m happy to be back in the top ten both in the race and the points but it’s only early in the season so there's still a lot of work to do. I had a good weekend going until my crash in FP4 so now I’ll go home and rest my body and get ready to come back stronger in Mugello.”
