Thailand MotoGP: Jack Miller - “I already know who the guys who are going to be really fast are”
It was no surprise that the riders who are known for their ability ✨in the wet soon found themselves near the front of the race, and the usual suspects were no surprise to Miller, stating:
“When we come into the kind of …unknowns, of not being in the wet and then going out in the wet - I already know who the guys who are going to be rea💧lly fast are.

It’s generally - I’ll know I’ll be pretty quick, I know Miguel [Oliveira] will be really quick, I k🏅now Zarco will be really quick, we’re kind of the three that can sort of adapt. I was a bit nervous about Petrux [Danilo Petrucci] I thought he might come through from the back end!”
The Ducati Lenovo rider left it all on track a🙈s he kept Oliveira honest up front once he passed the Australian, but noted there were♎ certain parts of the track where he was stronger and others there the bike felt like it was at a disadvantage, calling it a ‘lap of two halves’. Miller explained:
“ I go into turn three and honestly I’m calm , I’m right on him, coming out of the second last corner, that acceleration… and I go ‘🙈he’s blowing you away!’ I was h🐠aving this conversation in my head, you need to pull your finger out kind of thing, but I was missing a little bit in those corners”.
For most of t🅠he race the #43 was able to claw time back and gave one final big push on the last lap, but by the💧n Oliveira was out of touching distance -
“Miguel was definitely a lot faster through those last two sectors. Every lap I was losing a fair bit 🀅of time there, I could claw it back in sector one/sector two, but last lap I threw caution to the wind a little bit and had a bit more of a dig through that sector, a lot of movement and whaꦑtnot to try and put myself in range… but it wasn’t to be…he was on rails through there and I had a bit of a moment on the wetter part of the track and that’s all she wrote”.
