MotoGP | GP Le Mans Qualifying: Miller, “We are ready to face the race in any weather condition”

MotoGP GP France Le Mans Ducati 2021 – Jack Miller closed qualifying for the French Grand Prix, fifth stage of the 2021 MotoGP, with the third fastest time.

Thanks to the seventh time at the end of FP3, obtained yesterday during the only dry session, the Australian was able to directly access Q2 during which he was able to manage the unpredictable weather conditions well and above all the difficult track conditions. With the asphalt partly dry and partly still wet, after the light rain that fell just before Q1, the Ducati rider went out on rain tires for just one lap and then returned to the pits to return to the track with the second Desmosedici GP with slick tyres. Immediately fast, Miller set the third best time in 1:32.704, taking the front row, despite a few drops of rain starting to fall again towards the end.

Statements Jack Miller French GP Le Mans Qualifying

“Shortly before Q2 the sun came out and we therefore decided to keep one of the two bikes in dry set-up. I went out first on wet tyres, but I immediately realized that the track was now almost dry, so I returned as quickly as possible to change bikes. Here the conditions are really unpredictable and you have to try to make the most of the situation, and in fact, just before I managed to do my fastest lap, it started raining again! Starting from the front row was really important, given that it will probably rain tomorrow. In any case, we are ready to face the race in any weather condition."
