Jack Miller completed a points scoring finish in Sunday's Aragon Grand Prix.
In warm and sunny conditions Miller dug deep with grip levels at a premium over the 23-lap race at the 5.078km Motorland Circuit
The Australian finished 13th, the same as his starting position, to take him to 56 points and 12th overall in the MotoGP World Championship standings.
With track temperatures rising Miller started the race on a hard compound rear tyre but was never in a position to challenge for his target of a top ten finish.
โWhile I am reasonably happy with the way things went today this wasn't the race I expected even though I came home with some points,โ he said. โI used the hard tyre and expected a little bit more from it but it didn't work out that way. Overall a positive weekend and I'm feeling really comfortable with the bike, especially the front. We just missed some drive grip on the rear which was down to not making the hard compound work early enough.โ
In three weeks the MotoGP championship resumes in Japan followed in succession by Australia and Malaysia.
