Considering his last GP, Miller comes to Aragón in great shape. The Australian explains how much he enjoyed the Silverstone weekend and how it has left him feeling confident: "Yes, it was like war at Silverstone – comments Jack in reference to his fourth-place finish behind Espargaró on the Aprilia – I showed that I know how to manage the tyres, keeping them in good condition all the way to the line. I think the English track is one of the most violent for the tyres, so I think I did a smart job in that respect. On the last lap I tried to pass Aleix, I had fun and hope to do something similar here at Motorland".
Last year, the Ducatis suffered at Aragón, Jack too, crashing in the first event and finishing just ninth in the second. Despite this, the Aussie promises things will be different this time: "Yes, I reckon we’ll solve our past problems, because our Desmosedici is now more consistent and offers better performance, if we compare the 2020 results to those of today. We’re in a good position, although we won’t know how it’ll go until we get out for practice. It will be hotter than it was last year, when I did poorly. But I went well in 2019. We have six races and I’m fifth, I need to increase my points”.
