MotoGP, Jack Miller in the top ten of youngest winners

The win by 'Jackass' in the rain at Assen surprised MotoGP that hadn't seen a new face on the top of the rostrum for quite a while.

By scoring his first win, Miller is now the centre of attention, as you can see by taking a look at new stats about him:

- Jack Miller is the fifth youngest rider to win in the premier-class in the MotoGP era, after: Marc Marquez, Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo and Casey Stoner.

- He is the 12th Australian rider to win in the premier-class, joining: Mick Doohan, Casey Stoner, Wayne Gardner, Daryl Beattie, Jack Findlay, Garry McCoy, Jack Ahearn, Troy Bayliss, Ken Kavanagh, Kevin Magee and Chris Vermeulen.

- It is the first MotoGP win by an Australian rider since Casey Stoner won at Phillip Island in 2012.

- Miller is the first rider to take a maiden MotoGP win since Marc Marquez won in Austin in 2013. This sequence of 59 races without a first-time winner is the
longest in premier-class history.

- This was the first win by an Independent Team rider since Toni Elias won in Portugal in 2006.

- Miller is the first rider to win a MotoGP race having previously won in the Moto3 class.

- He is just the sixth rider to win a MotoGP race without having competed in the intermediate-class of grand prix racing for at least one year, joining:
Nicky Hayden, Ben Spies, Makoto Tamada, Troy Bayliss and Chris Vermeulen (Of these riders both Troy Bayliss and Makoto Tamada did compete in the 250cc GP class, but only as wild-card riders)
