Jack Miller ‘not a fan of testing before racing’ at the same track
Jack Miller does not believe MotoGP should test at a circuit an𓂃d then race there directly afterwards.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Miller suffered a disappointing end to the Qatar MotoGP weekend ꦅas he crashed out of the♚ lead group on lap two.
The KTM rider, who could come under intense pressure from rookie sensation Pedro Acosta regarding the factory seat in 2025, was scoreless throughout the weekend after mi♔ssing out on points in the sprint race too.

But refocused after a weekend off, Miller said: “Happy to be back here at Portimao. Looking forwa🌠rd to it, it should be a good weekend and I’m looking forward to putting Qatar behind us.
“We had 🍒decent pace there throughout the weekend but I wasn’t able to show it in both races.
“I had a good week a🃏t home regrouping, realigning to try and come here and show our full potential🐎.”
After MotoGP held a test in Qatar prior to the opening round, Portimao will serve as 𝐆a blank sheet for every rider as they take their new bikes to the Portuguese circuit without having tested there recently.
Asked if this could throw up different resu🐭lts due to less track time being available heading into the races, Miller said: “It always does. When you go and do two or three days before racing on the track everybody is hitting the ground running.
“You are not trying to set the b𒐪ike up after the weekend. I am not a fan of testing before racing on the track.
“The race weekend is like that and it’s part of the race weekend to understand the standard you are going to need and also working on th🎐e fly with 💟your team to try and improve the bike between sessions.
“I think it will change a bit. The cream will always rise to the top. I think the podium will look the same a♉nyway.
“But we’ll be alright though. We have made some significant improvements since Portimao last year so I’m looking forward to taking the 2024 KT🎀M around Portimao.”
P💝ortimao i꧅s one of the standout circuits on the calendar due to its unique characteristics.
A circuit that has staged exciting MotoGP races in the past, Miller believes tꦚhis can be the case again although overtaking in MotoGP has become difficult no matter what track they are at, according to the Australian.

Miller stated: “Easy… [to overtake] no! It’s not ea🍌sy to overtake at all in MotoGP but at least on this track you have some opportunities like turn 13, turn one, turn three and even turn five, there are some goo𝓀d opportunities but it depends on the guys around you.
“Like I s💟aid, it's difficult to pass in MotoGP. 👍But as we have seen in the past, it creates some pretty decent racing.”
Miller’s team-mate Brad Binder showed how competitive KTM can be after securing two podium finis🧸hes in Qatar.
Looking to join Binder at the front this weekend, Miller admitted the 🦂mistake in the grand prix was ‘my fault’, but that he knows what he’s capa🧸ble of.
“The mistake in the race was my fault,” began Miller. “I tried to turn too tight too e𒁏arly and 🦩laid it down.
“Missing all the wings on the right hand side and having the bike a bit twisted afteꦫr didn’t help with lap times but I was still able to push𓆉 and finish the race.
“I tried my best. Obviously, when we studied the data, 𝓀left hand corners were pretty close to the boys up front but 🌊right hand corners we were suffering quite a lot.
“We kno🐼w our level and we’ve had a week to sit at home and unwin, re-focus and realign before coming back this week.”
