Although Miller stated he was one of the riders who didn’t think a new asphalt was not needed - ‘all I said was the track needed a sweep’, the three-time MotoGP race winner has since claimed the recent resurfacing has provided 🃏much better grip.  

"I never said the track wasn’t ready for racing, all I said was the track needed a sweep," said Mill🌌er.

"I didn’t think it needed the new asphalt, but 🐻I’m appreciative of them putting in the new asphalt because it’s a lot better. 

"The track is 🍸100% ready for racing. I would like to do a practice start on the front straig🦋ht just to see how it’s going."

While grip has significantly improved compared to last month’s pre-season test, the newly-built Mandalika Street Circuit remains v𒈔ery dirty off-line, especially the front straight. 

Miller claims the track conditions will be discussed during the safety commission ahead of tomorrow's action: “I saw a couple of guys doing a practice start and it's the dirtiest and least used part of the track. It’s not a good gauge🌊 for doing a practice start. We’ll meet with the safety commission this afternoon and then make a plan.”

In terms of 🎀his position on the leaderboard, Miller was fourth fastest when it came to the Italian manufacturer’s pecking order - sixth overall - however, his race pace looks even stronger.

"I h🔜ad a lot of fun today," added the Australian. "They’ve done an amazing job to get the track in the condition that it’s in already. It was still a little biꦗt dusty this morning, but it doesn’t matter how much you broom and brush the track, nothing cleans the track like motorcycles racing on it. 

"The pace is there. I did a long run in FP2 and felt pretty good. I tried the softer tyre b🔜ecause that’s new here and also to try and understand how it behaves after some la🍎ps on it."

During his media debrief Miller was also asked about Ducati not running a front 𒉰(holeshot) device, to which the factory Ducati rider&nꦫbsp;was quick not to comment.  

Miller's respons꧂e: "About that (front device) I🐭 don’t really want to comment too much. We are trying devices and testing stuff. And yeah, not much to say."
