Jack Miller is “delighted” with his pace in all weather conditions in Friday practice at MotoGP’s San Marino Grand Prix.
The Ducati rider was fourth-fastest in the mostly dry first session at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli and third-quickest in the latter, which was wet throughout.
On combined times, he ended the day within two tenths of a second of Aprilia Racing Team Gresini fast man Maverick Viñales courtesy of a 1:32.859s.
“Today, we were able to ride in different track conditions, and I’m delighted because, in both the dry and wet, we were able to get a good pace right away,” said Miller.
“This morning, I was expecting a slow track after the rain that fell on Wednesday evening, which brought sand, but we were very fast straight away and managed to get a good time on the medium tyre in FP1.
“I was hoping to do a long run in the dry this afternoon, but it wasn’t possible, but I still had a good time in the wet.
