“I’m practically surrounded”. Quartararo is right, tomorrow his bike will be a blue dot in the middle of a red sea with a view of the starting grid. Bagnaia and Miller will be ahead of the French, Martin and Zarco behind. The front row is identical to Aragon’s, but Jack hopes the race will end differently after last Sunday’s technical problems.
“I’m sure it was a problem in this race, I don’t think it will happen again.” assured the Australian.
As in Spain, Miller feels ready for a good race at Misano.
“I’m pretty confident whether it’s raining or dry,” he said. “The only question is about the rear tire as it had less time to test in wet conditions in FP2. The soft one is fine, but some riders were quick with the medium.”
Now Ducati’s striker is Bagnaia and the Australian isn’t ruling out his willingness to help him for the championship if the opportunity presents itself.
“I think Pecco is probably the strongest on paper and in history – he explained – I mean, there is always a “Jack Race” on my mind, but we’ll see how the race plays out. So when he wants to take a look, I like to sit behind him and play blockers as often as I can. But I think it’s pointless to talk about something like that now. I think we’ll have to wait for the lights to go out tomorrow and when that happens, understand where you are, understand the race, how you feel, how the bike reacts, and go from there. “
The relationship between the two teammates is excellent and Jack has carefully studied Pecco’s data.
“I did that last year. He can use his body like a sail while I have an older driving style and it doesn’t work well on this route. “ he concluded.
