CWM-LCR Honda rider Jack Miller has expressed his happiness after a very encouraging opening day of the February tests at the Sepang circuit in Malaysia.
The South East Asian country has become the destination of choice for pre-season testing sessions in recent years and, once again, there was a full turn-out from the MotoGP paddock on Tuesday.
Miller, who has moved up to the premier class after finishing second in last year‰Ûªs Moto3 championship, continued his impressive adaptation to his new Open category RC213V-RS as he put in a stint of 59 laps.
He improved throughout the day, his best lap being his 53rd which was clocked at 2‰Ûª02.807. The Queenslander insisted there was still plenty of room for improvement over the next couple of days, but was left excited by his progress on 2015 package.
‰ÛÏI‰Ûªm very happy with the result today, we started off where we left things at the end of last year and I‰Ûªm really happy with how the bike is working." Miller commented.
‰ÛÏThe team is working great as always and today we tested many things. Without electronics, I‰Ûªm still trying to adjust my riding style to fit the MotoGP bike and tomorrow we might be able to start working with some electronics and start making some more steps forward.
‰ÛÏFor today we are really happy. We are learning to conserve the tyres better and making a good job and looking forward to the rest of the test.‰Û
