The KTM rider credited a return to the ‘normal’ rear tyre casing, after experiencing some difficulties on the stiffer heat-resistant construction,♈ for feeling instantly comfortable at 🌼Sepang.

“From the ge༺t-go, I felt pretty good. It's always nice putti🎉ng the standard tyre back in,” Miller told MotoGP.com.

“I struggled a lot last weekend [in Thailand] with the other casing that we have for th💎ose sorts of tracks - Thailand, India, [Indonesia] and Spielberg.

"So it was nice to, let's say, have my nor♐mal bike back.

“The bike’s working really well around here, it’s quite a different bike to what we rode here at t🐻he beginning of year [in testing], so we’ve definitely moved in the right direction.

“My pace was good in FP2. I was able to 🎀put some consistent laps together and keep it in the ‘59s. I feel relative💛ly comfortable but everybody's going extremely fast.

“So we'll have to try and find obviously a little bit more overnight, but nonetheless pretty happy to be back in the t🎃op three.”

Team-mate Brad Binder was just a fraction slower than Miller in fourth, completing🎐 a strong turnaround after KTM’s struggles in the F🔯ebruary pre-season test.

“Really good. I’m happy,ꦏ” Binder said. “I was actually surprised, the lap times came quite nicely and it’s not always like that here. I was on a really quick lap when I lost the front, so I think I’ve got a little bit more.

“It wasn’t working at all [here] at the test! So clearly, we’ve done a good job since and made positive steps. We’ve got the bi🗹ke working in a much better way, especially on new tyres.”
