Jack Miller’s Q2 hopes were dashed by a crash late on in Practice at Motegi
Pramac Yamaha MotoGP rider Jack Miller was left puzzled by his unexpected crash during the Japanese Grand Prix on Friday.
Despite a positive start with his satellite M1 in the morning session, Miller encountered vibration issues during his second time attack which led to his crash at Turn 5.
The incident left him in 20th place, forcing him into a Q1 battle on Saturday, where he believed he had the potential for a top 10 finish without the mishap.
Miller expressed disappointment, stating that the bike was working well and he couldn’t pinpoint a specific reason for the crash.
