Statements Jack Miller, GP Austin Race

“After a good start I managed to get back into the fight for the podium, but unfortunately towards the middle of the race, when I had managed to climb back to fourth place, I started to suffer from a drop in tire performance. I tried to adopt a different style to try not to wear out the front too much, but obviously my pace suffered. I saw that Pecco was behind me and, seeing as I was in difficulty, I let him pass. I finished sixth, but on the last lap Mir hit me, causing me to lose two more positions. In the end I finished seventh. It's a shame, because we could have had a really good race. Congratulations to Pecco for the podium: I'm also happy for Ducati and the team who are now both first in the championship".
