"A er a good start, I was able to get back
into the fight for the podium," said Jack
Miller. "But unfortunately, towards the
second part of the race, when I was up to
fourth, I started to struggle from the drop
in re performance. I tried to adopt a dif
-
ferent style and not wear out the front too
much,
but obviously, that affected my pace.
I saw that Pecco was behind me, and since
I was struggling, I let him through. I finished
sixth, but on the last lap, Mir hit me, and
I lost another two posi ons. In the end, I
finished seventh. It's a shame because we
could have had a really good race."
46 VALENTINO ROSSI
15TH MOTOGP
"Considering my pace during the weekend
my speed today in the race was decent. I
was able to take one point, but it was re-
ally, really hard. A very long race. This track
is always very demanding because we
have some wild braking, a lot of change
in direc on and a lot of bumps, and with
this temperature it was very long today.
For the level of MotoGP machines now
you have to be very, very fit. I used the
medium rear and I felt good and was able
to recover some posi ons, but unfortu-
nately, I was not fast enough. We expected
to be stronger, but we suffered through
the weekend. Finally, though at the end
I'm happy because it was so tough but s ll
I took one point."
