MotoGP made its on-track debut at the new Mandalika International Street Circuit on Friday as pre-season testing resumed ahead of the 2022 campaign, marking Indonesia’s first grand prix motorcycle action since 1997.
The day was impeded by poor track conditions due to mud, forcing action to be halted for around 90 minutes on Friday morning while the surface was cleaned and a meeting between riders and Race Direction was had.
Honda’s Pol Espargaro topped the day with a 1m32.466s lap, while Aprilia’s Aleix Espargaro was second and Miller sixth on his Ducati.
But Miller was left fuming after an incident involving the elder Espargaro brother at the penultimate corner on Friday.
“He just slammed on the brakes in the penultimate corner and I almost ate him,” Miller said.
“Then I caught up with him and revved the bike. But he made it look like he didn’t know.
“You know, Aleix playing Aleix. He’s arrogant.”
