North Queenslander Jack Miller has been fined €1000 EUR ($1480 AUD) following a run-in with Alvaro Bautista, who took him out of the Spanish grand prix on Sunday.

Miller was on par for a fourth-straight top 10 result to open the season with Team Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS Honda when Bautista bumped him off at turn one.

The Aussie reacted angrily in the gravel immediately after the incident – later stating he was happy to work things out – but will now look ahead of Le Mans in hope of rebounding for more strong results.

“It was a positive weekend until the race,” Miller reflected. “I had good pace in practice and felt comfortable with the bike. I got a good start, but got caught up with a bunch of other riders on laps three and four and almost got cleaned up a couple of times.

“Then Alvaro threw it in deep on the brakes, lost the front and took me out when I was on target for another top 10 finish. It was real shame but the positives are that I had great pace and I can take that forward to the race at Le Mans.”

Team Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS Honda will test at Jerez on Monday and then later in the week at Valencia before heading to the French grand prix.
