Confidence increasing for Australia's MotoGP regular.
Team Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS’s Jack Miller is coming off a first career MotoGP top 10 result at Barcelona and wants to keep up that type of form this weekend at Assen’s Dutch TT.
Miller has undertaken an intensive training schedule, which included a cycling stint on the Isle of Man, to further build strength in the right leg he broke in two places back in late January.
The Australian is now raring to go for round eight of the 2016 campaign after he finished inside the top 10 for the first time in his premier class career at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
“It was a good weekend in Barcelona, but we can’t get ahead of ourselves off the back of one good result,” Miller said. “We found some direction in Barcelona and we need to keep working to improve both our qualifying performance and our race pace.
“I’m looking forward to getting to Assen and giving it a go round there. I like the track; last year I had really good speed there on the open bike, so I’m looking forward to trying the factory bike there this time around.”
Last season at Assen in the Dutch TT after qualifying down the order in 20th, Miller was an early casualty, crashing out on the opening lap after being collected from behind at the final chicane by Hector Barbera.
