Jack Miller secured the best result of his MotoGP career so far, as he took 11th place in the Grand Prix of Catalunya to bring home five points for his CWM LCR Honda Team.
The Australian rookie had got a decent start from 21st position on the grid, riding with some experienced runners.
At one point he made it as high as tenth place, but as former world champion Bautista sneaked through just a couple of laps from the end, he was forced to settle for one place behind.
‰ÛÏWe struggled over the weekend and really had to work hard during today‰Ûªs race." Miller admitted. "We got a good start, and we were in amongst a good group. I really got stuck in and settled into a rhythm, although I did have a few moments because it was slippery out there. ‰ÛÏ
‰ÛÏI am really happy to bring the bike home after two races of not finishing. It‰Ûªs good to put some more points on the board, but we are still learning all the time on the bike. I still need more laps on it and crashing out of the race is not the way forward.‰Û
