Sunday evening marked the penultimate test session of the pre-season for the entire MotoGP World Championship field, including the CWM LCR Honda Team’s Jack Miller.

Under the floodlights of the Losail International Circuit, just on the outskirts of the Qatari capital of Doha, Miller continued his adaptation to the open specification Honda RC213V-RS he campaigns this season for the first time in MotoGP.

In terms of lap-time the Australian knocked another half a second off his best from Saturday’s first night of testing, and was even closer than he had been to the fastest rider of the night, Andrea Dovizioso.

“I’m very happy with today and although it’s not quite what I want just yet, we still made some more improvements and got that bit closer to the front once again,” Miller said. “I also made the laptime all alone, which is a positive for me and honestly a real boost.

“I’m feeling really good on the hard tyre, even when it’s got full race distance on it. That’s why I’m looking forward to the race simulation we will try tomorrow and also trying to put in some faster laps in the early stages tomorrow when the track is perhaps at its best.”

Miller eventually ended up as the 21st fastest rider of the day with a best of 1m56.758, just 1.851 seconds behind Dovizioso, feeling happier with every single lap he takes on board his new machine.
