MotoGP Assen: Jack Miller “Fantastic feeling, I responded to those who have been calling me an idiot for two years”
The Australian breaks the domination of the fantastic 4 that had lasted since 2011 and leads a private team to win in MotoGP after 10 years
Jack Miller MotoGP 2016 Gp Assen Honda Marck Vds Racing Team – Jack Miller he wins the Assen grand prix at the end of a crazy race, divided into two heats, due to the whims of the weather which was able to go from sun to downpour in just a few minutes. The Australian took the lead after the second restart, starting strong, immediately overtaking several riders to put himself behind Rossi and Dovizioso in the lead. Then after a few laps the two Italians slipped, leaving the young Australian in the lead, a position that he easily managed to maintain until the end also because Marquez, who was 2nd, never really tried to catch him. With Miller, a private team returns to win in MotoGP after 10 years: the last to do so was Toni Elias who won in 2006 at Estoril in a photo finish against Rossi. Well done Jack, once again Honda proves that it has seen things through by investing in him.
“It's a fantastic feeling – Jack Miller said – when I crossed the finish line I had so many emotions in my head going back to 2010 when I moved to Europe to live this dream. I have to thank Honda who supported me in this adventure of racing with MotoGP straight away. We are growing this year step by step, of course the weather helped us today but we are growing"
Is this victory a response to those who criticized your "jump" to MotoGP?
“I know how to ride a motorbike and also a MotoGP and today I put a stamp on this. Now I have to continue working, it was a response to those who called me an idiot"
But are these difficulties you've had due to your bike?
“It's a difficult moment for us, but it doesn't depend on the fact that the bike isn't official because Honda assists us in everything, we are treated like officials. Of course my style is not 100% suitable for this bike but I can't say what I would do with other brands"
Was it difficult to keep Marquez at bay?
“I didn't have to push like crazy because I saw that Marc was calm because Vale had crashed and Lorenzo was behind. I just tried to manage the margin and maintain the gap"

JACKASS SHOW…
For me it proved nothing at all... 26 Moto GP races, 1 victory which to define as the result of chance is an understatement and for the rest total darkness and never a sharp one.
To make skeptics think again, consistency and consistency of results are needed, not just yesterday's match
