Red Bull KTM Ajo rider Jack Miller was quickest in the second day of Moto3 World Championship testing at Jerez in Spain on Wednesday.

The Queenslander did a 1m46.259s lap time to climb to the top of the timesheets, heading Isaac Vinales (KTM) and Husqvarna’s class returnee Danny Kent.

“We were lucky in that we could test things out and also push for a fast lap at the same time, which was good,” Miller commented. “In the middle session we tried a different swingarm, which was good in some ways but still needs a lot of fine-tuning to get completely right.

“It was good that we had that to test and tomorrow we have some more parts to try out, but today was definitely a good day overall. I feel comfortable, in control, there were no big moments again, so I’m really happy.

“Tomorrow we will try to do a long-distance run of between about 20 to 23 laps, and see how that goes. I’m not so worried about this, because today we set some good times with tyres that had 28 laps in them already.”

Arthur Sissis sits 21st for Mahindra Racing, 1.993s in arrears of Miller following the second day.

In Moto2 it was again Japanese ace Takaaki Nakagami on top with a 1m42.587 for Idemitsu Honda Team Asia, narrowly ahead of Tom Luthi and Moto3 World Champion Sandro Cortese. Aussie Anthony West was 193th, 1.304s from the front.
