I
t took him five years to get a sec-
ond MotoGP race victory last time
out in Spain, and then two weeks
later Jack Miller made it back-to-
back wins when he claimed top
spot at Le Mans for the 2021 French
MotoGP.
The factory Ducati pilot came out
the winner in incredibly tricky condi-
tions that saw riders start on slicks,
change to wets and nurse the tires
to the line as the track dried.
"Winning two races in a row is a
dream for me, especially after such
a difficult race where I even had to
take a double long lap and ended
up in the gravel," Miller said. "So, to
be able to get this result is really ex-
traordinary! The race was really long
and tough mentally. I tried to keep
my concentration and kept telling
myself to stay calm. In this way, I
managed the tires well and saved
them until the end, managing the
advantage over Johann, who was
getting very close towards the end.
It was really a fantastic victory!"
Jack Miller roared into title contention at
the French GP with a storming ride in the
most tricky conditions at Le Mans
