168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Miller, who was fastest in FP1, then went on to claim P2 on combined times behind Johann Zarco in what was a much more representative second MotoG𝔉P practice in Austria.  

Overnight rain had left the Red Bull Ring damp for the start of FP1, but as is so often the case in such conditions, Miller appeared to be right at home finishing six tenths clear 👍of Zarco.

“The bike is working well. I’m enjoying it a lot,” said Mil♌ler.

The Australian also went on to share his thoughts about the new chicane which🅷 prior to the weekend getti🔯ng underway was thought to have potentially taken some of Ducati’s straight-line speed advantage away.

However, based on the opening day of practice thꦏe Bologna Bullets seem to be just fine - six Ducatis finished inside the top seven with only reigning MotoGP champion Quartararo able to get amongst them. 

"The new chicane is a nice addition to the track," stated Miller. "It’s completely blind heading in ther☂e and into the braking zone. In the first f🌞ree practice there were a lot of guys running wide because it comes up on you really quickly. 

• 🐓Sprint race format ‘a good idea, it’s nice to watch, ꦕdouble points…’ - Zarco

"But getting the underst⛦anding of it is really fun. You have a lot of c🗹hanges of camber when you go in so the bike is moving around a lot and I’m burying the rear brake a lot, getting it sliding going in before the most aggressive change of direction on the calendar. 

"It’s a lot of fun and it spices it up. It makes turn three a better corner for overtaking and🐓 for sure it’s a lot safer."

During Miller’s run of fast laps in the closing stages of FP2, KTM’s Miguel Oliveira suffered a strange crash whilst just ahead of the Ducatiღ rider. 

Oliveira ran w😼ide on the exit of turn nine before losing control of his RC16 when attempting to come back across the curb.

Worried he might be colle🉐cted in the process, Miller said: "I was worried about where the bike was⛎ going. You saw me sit up and grab the brakes and the best thing for me to do was accelerate past him because he was decelerating. 

"But yeah he sort of went off-track and then as he came across the curbs. Obviously he 🏅tried to come across the curb with the wrong angle and a little bit too slow. 

"But for sure it looked like he was coming back across my line for a moment but then it levelled out and the hills sort of pulled 🃏him straight again."

Is the new MotoGP-specific chicane in Austria an even bigger advantage for Ducati than before? 

As mentioned above, Ducati were expected to be slightly more affected by the new chicane than others, however, most of the Italian manufacturer’s rideꦆrs proved that braking and acceleration on the exit of the chicane were just as big a benefit as the previous version of the Red Bull Ring was.  

It’s difficult to say that a circuit which has seen Ducati win six from eighౠt races could suit them even more following an adjustment, but that’s precisely what Zarco believes. 

"My opinion on t🍬he new chicane is what I was thinking, which is that it’s quite slow. So we kept a good advantage with the Ducati and maybe we can use even better our advantage on the brakes and acceleration," added the French rider. 

"I’m happy for this and it also makes turn three easier because you arrive slower and youඣ have more possibilities in turn three. 

"Then you try things dur🔯ing laps, you don’t miss your laps and then you can repeat. For this reason I was happy to be on the bike. 

"We can work better with the t꧑eam and I hope in the dry w♔e can move forward to then play with the bike and be competitive."
