168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Miller has been named as a rider whose best work at the MotoGP preꩵseason test in Sepangܫ was not reflected on the timesheets.

His finishes o💛f 18th, 15th and 14th on each ♔of the three days might not have caught the eye.

But the wily Miller was busy with even more crucial worღk that isn’t aꦗlways noticed by the public.

Simon Crafar, the ex-racer and now broadcaster, said: “The thing that’s difficult to judge about testing? There are people who you don’t notice or appreciate who❀ are doing a massive amount of work.

“I think, from what I am seeing, Jack Miller is one of those 🌳guys.

“Remember last year, everyone saying Jack was a second off the pace? But he was going through everything, getting KTM𒀰 ready for the first race.

“In the first race he turned up - ‘I’m fast!’

“From what I have seen, that’s 🐼what Jack is doing again.

“He looked so tired! He is doing everything t🍸hat the engineers want.

“They all say: ‘J🔯ack is happy to work for us, he does what we need’.

“A lot of that, in the pitlane, is what peop♍le don’t see on the timesheet.🅷”

Miller had reflected on his own test: “If you told me that I’d do a ‘57 🎃and not mention anybody else’s times, I would’ve been over the moon prior to the test.

“But the others were rapid so ‘57 🃏probably didn’t look thꦯat great!

“I’m happy. A lot of work to be done. A lot of laps were done with variations of our 💖bike. It was a positive test, I felt good on the bike.

“We’ve worked a lot in terms of electronics.

“I felt like I got bet꧙ter and better, as the three days went on.”

KTM’s preparation ꦇin Sepang did not go unnotice⛄d by Crafar from inside the paddock.

“They always brin💎g lots,” he said. “We’ve seen an amazing amount of aero.

“They have had two en💙gines, as well, to test. The carbon fibre chassis.

“Evඣeryone is on the new engine because they have to check that ꦜthe riders are happy with it before they homologate it.”

KTM - and Miller ꧂- will have two final days of preseason testing, on Monday and Tuesday in Qatar, before the first round of the season on March 8.
