Miller, who again had to overcome a Long lap penalty in order to challenge for the podium, was unable to achieve the same result as he did at the German Moto♛GP eight days ago. 

"It was a bad call from the stewards yeste✃rday [Saturday]. A bogus penalty cost us our result today," said Miller.

The Australian was awarded th𒊎e penalty after being deemed to have affected Maverick Vinales in qualifying.

Miller had ꧅previously crashed, and with his Ducati stuck in gear, the three-time premier class race winner was trying to get off the rꦐacing line as Vinales approached.

Did the penalty truly cost Miller a podium? 

Without taking a Long Lap penalty, Miller would likely have ཧbeen battling Marco Bezzecchi for second place, so yes, in that sense Miller probably missed out on the rostrum.

Yet, Miller still had the chance to overtake Vinales with two laps remaining but the factory Ducati rider out b𓂃raked himself into the final corner, which in-turn put him back into the clutches of Binder and a charging Aleix Espargaro. 

As Binder went to the inside of Miller in an attempt to claim fourth, Espargaro pulled♚ off a double-pass that was nothing short of brilliant.

What it did do however, was compromise Bind♏er as the South African became sandwiched between the two, leading to him making contact wဣith Miller.

While nothing more than slight contact, Miller was less than impressed: "No, not at all [asked if he knew Espargaro wa💧s there]. You know, I felt like I braked pretty good and I wasn’t expecting it at all,” Miller told BT Sport. 

"Both him and Brad came past, [Binder] smashed 🐷into th🍒e side of me and there’s just not much to say really. It is what it is.  

"It’s a shame to not arrive on the podium after that effort. I feel li𝄹ke I rode a good race with really sharp pace. 

"ꦦI made a little mistake at the end which put me in the range of the oꦛther boys. They weren’t messing about."

Best MotoGP overtake of Espargaro’s career!

While it was a disappointing end for Miller, Espargaro was feeling verꦦy different emotions after his sensational last lap.

Asked if he thought he could outbrake Miller and Binder, the Spanaird told MotoGP.com: "No, not at all. Especially because Brad and Jack are one of the two best riders in the world🌸 on the brakes. 

"They are fantastic and it’s very difficult to overtake Brad and Jack. On the last lap I was super focused because on the previous lap I was not even close, so I did the perfect last lap 🔯to arrive very close 𒀰and I knew at the last chicane that I had to try. I released the brakes and braked even later than in qualifying."
