MotoGP, Miller: "The contact with Aldeguer? That's not racing, that's bumper cars."

Jack Miller didn't exactly like the penalty the Stewards gave him after the contact with Aldeguer. They decided to punish him with 3 positions and, when he didn't comply with it, they have him a Long Lap. At that point, the Pramac rider's chances of getting points were gone.

The Australian, however, doesn't think he deserved such treatment. "I saw the first penalty on the dashboard, but it would've been ridiculous to give up three positions at that time, when I had a two-second lead over the rider in front," he explained. " Then, when I saw the Long Lap, I realized that it would be better to do it."

The point, however, is another. Miller doesn't think he made a mistake and that it was Fermin who sought the contact.

"In my opinion, that penalty isn't valid," he thundered. "It's impossible to overtake someone who keeps letting off the brakes. I had already passed him once in the last corner, and he kept pushing , going wide, but his bike is a missile and he kept getting away. So, it took me a lap and a half to decide where to try one more time."

And, that's when it happened.

"I was coming out of the first corner better, so I attacked him at the second," Jack continued. "Everything was under control until he came alongside and let off the brakes again. I tried to keep as tight as I could. The smart thing would've been for him to cross my trajectory. If you ride like that, you're looking for contact, and that's not right. He keeps knocking the wings off the riders. He did it with me last week too. That's not racing. That's bumper cars. That's the style of the new generation of riders."

Miller also has it in for Simon Crafar and his stewards.

"There's a lack of uniformity in their judgment. I had been stopped for ten minutes in practice and pay a 3,000 Euros fine because my bike was smoking. Then they let another bike smoke for half the race and win," he said, referring to Bagnaia in Japan. "Where's the uniformity?"
