Flag to flag victory for Jack Miller in Germany

Jack Miller, Red Bull-sponsored athlete had secured his fifth pole position but was under pressure to do well after race incidents had kept him off the podium in the last round at Assen. He got away cleanly from the start, was first into the first corner and settled down to hold the lead throughout the 27-lap race on what is the shortest circuit on the World Championship calendar.

Miller‰Ûªs win extends his lead in the World Championship, which he has held since the first race of the season in Qatar. It will be a relief to the Australian to add more points to his tally as other strong riders have been making inroads into his lead in the past two rounds.

Spanish rider Alex Marquez, who was looking for his third consecutive Moto3 win shadowed Miller throughout the opening laps until Binder slipped into contention leaving Marquez to fight it out with three other riders, all vying for the third podium place.

Miller said it had been a tough race and that Binder had put pressure on him: ‰ÛÏBrad (Binder) was very strong. From the first lap I could see he was going all out, braking like an animal and getting very close to me. It was very stressful and I had to push hard on the last two laps to try to pass me. It was very important to get these 25 points. Now we have to ride intelligently at the next few tracks.‰Û
