“In Australia, where I grew up, before every race, you do a rid꧂er’s briefing,” Miller told .

“And they te𝄹ll you: ‘You may be killed or injured; your machine may be damaged or destroyed’. 

“That’s something that burns itself in the back of yo🔯ur brain - and I’ve broken well over 30 bon💫es, and lost some really great friends.

💜“But did I ever think about quitting the sport? Does it even pop into my mind? Never. 

“That can happen with the things you love: You’re scared about it, but you don’t reaꦆlly think abo🐻ut it.”

Miller’s ex-Ducati teammate and꧂ his friend Francesco🎶 Bagnaia added: “Fear is part of our sport.

“It’s part of our job: When you crash at high speed, you feel fear - you’re arriving to the🐼 gravel very fast and approaching the barrier very fast - but before that, you don’t think about it.”

🦋Quartararo described Turn 1 at the Circuit of the Americas in Texas to underline the speed and bravery of MotoGP riders.

“Right he💟re, after the backstraight,” he said, “we arr🔯ive there at 340 kilometers [211 mph] and we take the corner at 60 [37 mph] - that’s 280 kilometers [174 mph] difference in only 250 metres.”

“I broke my 🍌foot, my back, my wrists, my fingers. . . many t🔯hings!

“Actually, my left wrist is really ♛bad - I broke it♑ in more than 20 parts.

“[It’s in the] past - now we need to focu﷽s on the p💧resent.”
