Alma Pramac Racing’s Jack Miller was sixth overall as the Buriram test concluded in Thailand on Sunday, setting up for his biggest season of MotoGP yet in 2018.

Miller was once again among the front-runners throughout the three days at Chang International Circuit – including P3 on the second day – and has swiftly adapted to the Ducati GP17.

Despite a crash during yesterday’s third and final day of action, Miller managed to get back on track and continue, ultimately setting a fastest lap-time of 1m30.190s. His race-pace was also impressive later in the afternoon.

“I am really satisfied with what we have done in these tests,” Miller reflected. “The feeling is really good. Every time I go on the track I feel more and more comfortable and lap after lap I have the feeling of being ever faster.

“I made a mistake this morning on the first lap of the long run. I am sorry for the team because we could have finished our work this morning. We return home with great confidence and I look forward to being in Qatar.”

Miller has gone from strength to strength since teaming up with Pramac Racing for this season, fifth fastest at the recent Sepang test and then backing that form up in sixth on combined times in Thailand this week.
