168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller delighted the Pramac Yamaha team by blasting to fourth on the grid in his M1 qualifying debut at the season-opening Thai MotoGP at Buriram.

The Australian’s best lap was aided by a tow from fo🙈rmer Ducati team-mate Francesco Bagnaia.

But Miller also had the pace to keep clear of♕ factory Yamaha star Fabio Quartararo for the first half of the afternoon Sprint race.

Millerꦫ’s focus was still very much on attack rather than defence when disaster st🐎ruck after he “ignored the warning signs” and lost the front on lap 7 of 13.

“Not the way I 🤪wanted the sprint race to go, but iཧt is what it is,” Miller said. “I was pushing hard. Ignored all the warning signs the bike was giving me.

“I had a little bit of understeer in the ജlast corner, a little bit on understeer at turn 6 and I continued to push maybe a little bit too much.

“Going into corner 8 I braked the same, leant the same, line was the same, but just she let go. It was simpℱly at that critical moment when the [front] tyre's kind of reached its peak temperature and pressure and starts to drop away.

“I had Franky [Mor🐓bidelli] in front of me, and Ai [Ogura] was going towards Pecco. So I was hoping there was going to be a battle commencing aheadꦛ that would help me out.

“I felt like I had broken🐲 the guys behind me and was just trying to cling on as much as possible but… Little bit too much.

“I definitely feel like I can put the bike where I need it, have it slide 🧸and do whatever I need to. It's just a matter of ride♌r intuition. So we’ll learn from that and go forward.”

Switch off the brain? "You’ve got to in Qualifying"

Earlier, 168澳洲🐽幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Quartara🧸ro spoke of Miller's qualifying lap as an example of how the Australia🅘n is wi🌌lling to push the M1 to 'that extra limit'.

“He ܫwas behind Pecco, of course there was a little bit of slipstream, but I 🅺think that Turn 4, the brain was totally switched off and a big amount of the lap time is there,” said Quartararo, who qualified tenth and finished the Sprint in seventh.

“He was very, very fast and it’s something that I really like - to have someone ꦫlike Jack who pushes the bike to that extra limit.”

Asked about the Frenchman's comments, Miller replied: “Absolutely, yeah, in Q1 and Q2. But I don't think there's many guys that don't switch off the brain൲ when you throw a bike at a corner at 300 kilometres an hour! That’s what you’ve got to do.”

Despite how the race ended, Miller made clear: 🥀“My brain was working in the Sprint, I knew what I was trying to do🔯 in terms of trying to break the guys behind me and stay in touch with those boys [ahead] as long as possible.

“The Yamaha s𒉰eems to be quite conservative on the rear tyre. So I was hoping that I was going to have a little bit more grip than the other boys come the latter stages. But we didn't get that far.”

Miller will get a second chanc🧜e to turn his best grid position since Valencia 2023 into points during tomorrow’s grand prix.
