Jack Miller said, “I can ride a motorcycle sometimes! What an amazing day. I felt amazing all weekend since I rolled out in the first free practice. Feels so awesome to be racing on this side of the world again and the Japanese fans have been incredible all weekend, sitting there all through the miserable rain yesterday. Thank you to them and the team, what an amazing day, it's awesome. We've got a home grand prix coming up shortly, wedding coming up in a couple of weeks, it's amazing for me, so I'm over the moon. When you're riding or racing like that, the biggest opponent you've got is the man inside your head - so I was just trying to not listen to him too much, and it was relatively easy to not listen to him today when the bike's working as well as it was.”
