France MotoGP: Jack Miller gives audience a thriller in Le Mans!

France MotoGP: Jack Miller gives audience a thriller in Le Mans!

Jack Miller wins flag-to-flag in France to become the second Australian to win back-to-back races in the premier class.

Jack Miller wins the France MotoGP 2021.

The SHARK Grand Prix de France closed its veil during the weekend and it was a thrilling race indeed. The flag-to-flag spectacular showed us that Jack Miller the Thiller of Ducati Lenovo Team is a major competitor this season. With his fitting moniker, Jack Miller gave the audience a masterclass at Le Mans, overcoming two Long Lap penalties to become the first Australian since Casey Stoner in 2012 to win back-to-back races in the premier class.

On Thursday, Miller stated that he had a score to settle with Le Mans and he has very much done so. Pramac Racing’s Johann Zarco managed to hunt down compatriot Fabio Quartararo of Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP in the latter stages to take second place. Quartararo trailed behind him to complete the podium on home turf.

It was an absolutely breathtaking MotoGP race, and the first flag-to-flag in four years. An unbelievable afternoon in northern France sees the top four in the title race sit just 16 points apart, and it’s now Quartararo leading the way from Bagnaia, Zarco, and Miller.

The MotoGP paddock now heads over to Ducati’s home turf: Mugello.

  1. Jack Miller – Ducati Lenovo Team – Ducati – 47:25.473
  2. Johann Zarco* – Pramac Racing – Ducati – +3.970
  3.  Fabio Quartararo – Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP – Yamaha – +14.468

Jack Miller (Ducati Lenovo Team)- As It Happened

“Hectic, very hectic, I mean, it was perfectly still just before but halfway through the race when the rain came, the wind came with it and it was…. honestly, as I came down the pitlane, the barrier blew into the pitlane and I said they are going to red flag this for sure, but then it dropped off relatively quickly. The first couple laps were dodgy on the wet tires, but I got going and then I had the long laps, I wasn’t sure why apparently for speeding. I generally do get speeding tickets in France, not the ones I want!

I was able to bosh them out pretty quickly and get to work on Fabio. And I got in front of him and I just felt comfortable to be honest, I was just riding into the conditions, I saw Johann was coming so I had to up her a bit for the last five laps but the track was pretty much dry again. I was thinking do I pit or not, because it such a long pit road here and you lose a lot of time so I was just counting down the laps but, yeah, absolutely amazing I can’t believe it. Back-to-back wins are just fantastic and I can’t thank the team enough, they’re awesome, and yeah!
