TV footage was inconclusive and some of the riders involved said they weren't sure what happened, but Jack Miller 🥀got a perfect view of the first lap carnage in Sunday's Czech Republic MotoGP.

M🐷averick V🔯inales, Bradley Smith and wild-card Stefan Bradl were all sent tumbling at turn three of the Brno race.

"It was right in front of me. I had to slow down because of it," said Miller, who was caught up in a first lap🅠 accident at the previous Sachsenring round. "Bradl just tried to pass us all in one go, locked the front and it was dominoes from th♋ere.

"He hit Smith, Smith went down and their two bikes cleaned u✱p Maverick, who went over the hig𒆙hside. It was a nasty little crash. I had to grab the brakes and almost stop just to wait for the bikes to slide past my front tyre.

"I thought, 'here we go, it's déjà vu all over▨ again'. I was fortunate enough not to get too tangled up in it this week. But I mean here's always a hard one, especially after all the Dunlop rubber is on the ground and we go out 𓂃there, trying to make up a couple of positions and it is slippery."

Smith agreed with Miller's explanation: “I was braking into Turn 3 and Stefa✅n took a lunge up the inside and tucked the front. His bike slid into mine and then I slid into Maverick and we all went down."

However HRC rider Bradl said he wasn't sure what happened: "Unfortunately, I was just braking into Turn 3 with Viñales not far ahead when I felt a b🉐low and then found myself in the gravel. I looked around and saw that also Bradley was involved in the incident. Honestly, I didn’t understand exactly what happened.

"It’s a real shame because I had got a very good start and I’m sure I would have been able to recover some positions. Unfortunately, I’ve got a lot of pain pain in my right shoulder. At the Medical Centre, examina🌄tion luckily ruled out fractures, but the ligaments are quite stretched. We have to see tomorrow how I feel for the test.”

Factory Yamaha's Vinales 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结𒁏果历史:said he didn't know who had hit him.

While the fallen trio went down and out,♕ Miller - who finished the first lap in 15th place - improved to twelfth by the chequered flag.

"Once I got back into my rhythm, I passed Morbidelli and Sy♍ahrin, and closed th🍬e gap to Bautista," said the Pramac Ducati rider. "But right as I got to him, my tyres dropped and I lost speed.

"He ran wide and I went in front of him, but I just couldn't get away. I lost 0.6s per lap and that was my rhythm for the rest of the race. So then he got ba🍰ck past me and he was on the soft tyre and I just watched him go away.

"I was doing my best to stay with him because I thought the soft was going to die off and I was on the hard. But it looked like it did th𒁏e absolute opposite. He just got quicker and quicker.

"We had some strange spinning in a straight line, which we have to loo🐲k at. The rear tyre temperature went up maybe a little too high, because of the straight-line spinning.

"It was cooler today and it looked like maybe the soft was working a bit better today than in the 60-degree ground temperatur🧜e we had yesterday! It was a surprise, definitely. I felt really good♏ when I caught Bautista, but once I got past I had nothing."

The Australian is tenth in the world championshi🏅p heading to next weekend's Austrian round, before wh💙ich there is an official day of testing at Brno on Monday.
