After a disastrous opening lap a week earlier in Indonesia, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller stormed from 14th to 5th on the opening lap of the Japanese MotoGP.

The factory KTM rider,꧑ whose first-lap fall brought down three others at Mandalika, picked his lines perfectly thꦕis time around.

Hugging the inside through the opening corners Milleꩲr initially settled int꧑o ninth place, before Franco Morbidelli and Maverick Vinales were forced wide ahead.

Miller then outbraked both Ma🌞rc Marquez and Enea ꦰBastianini to snatch a surprise fifth place at the end of the back straight.

“I can generally ge𓆉t away well and pick my lines pretty good on the first lap - obviously last week not included because I managed to mess that up!”ౠ said Miller.

“But I was happy to get a decent jump and to pass nearly ten blokes on the first lap was 💟nice.

“I was in the right spot at the right time to be honest. I was just was able to hold the inside whe💝n there was a bit of chaos on the outside. Just roll the kerb, keep it tight and stay out ♒of drama.

“It was fun to be there. Going down the baꦍck straight when I passed Marc and En🧸ea into Turn 11, I thought ‘Oh shit, I’m in the top five here. ’

“But the🌠 anchor soon got thrown out and the boys started coming back past me pretty fast.”

Miller remained in the top si🐽x until lap 6 of 24, when he was overtaken by Franco Morbidelli and Marco Bezzecchi in quick succession.

Fabio di Giannanto𒀰nio demoted the Australian to eighth by the midway stage, when admits he was hoping the drizzle would increase.

“I wa🌟s hoping and praying it was going 𝓀to come down a little bit more, because those boys [ahead] had eked out a fair bit by that point, but I could still see them.

“ওBut it was only the slightest of drizzle, nothing like Moto2 🅺had.”

Miller, like many riders, spent theꦛ remainder of the race battle for rear grip, crossing the line in♌ tenth place.

“It was gnarly trying to get the thing off the corners a🌜t the end there, trying to use all the paint you can because it’s the only place that it seemed to find gr💝ip,” he said.

“We’re struggling a bit with mid-corner and corner exit speed. The front is stable and it stayed solid all race bu꧒t we still have some work to do.

“▨This hard-braking track was good for us. We’ll come back next💦 week and give it a crack at the Island and see how it goes there.”

Team-mate Brad Binder finished in sixth place.

Miller’s home Australian Grand Prix take♐s place from ൲October 18-20.
