He’s arrogant,” he said. that of Ducati, who finished with the sixth fastest time and who gave a fairly positive assessment of the track.

But the only thing we could do was go out, to roll and clean the surface. If we hadn’t done it today we would have had to do it tomorrow,” agreed Miller, who finished sixth on the timesheets.
“I think we have understood a lot of interesting things, especially with the conditions, and the mud, about the electronics. Also, in Qatar we will also have dust, so I think it was a very important day for us,” said the rider from Townsville. . “It’s okay not to test the bike on fantastic circuits and under the sun,” the #43 clinched.
