Miller considers himself "lucky to escape" Malaysian MotoGP crash

Posted : 04 November 2024

Jack Miller expressed his relief on Monday, acknowledging how fortunate he felt to have escaped a serious crash during the Malaysian MotoGP. His team emphasized that the incident served as a stark reminder of the inherent risks that motorcycle riders face in the sport.


The dramatic event unfolded on turn two of the opening lap at the Sepang circuit, involving Miller, his teammate Brad Binder, and Yamaha's Fabio Quartararo. The crash resulted in all three riders losing control, with Miller's head making contact with the back of Quartararo's bike, raising concerns about his safety.

Following the crash, the 29-year-old Australian received on-track treatment before being transported to the medical center for further evaluation. Fortunately, he was cleared of any serious injuries, allowing him to return to the paddock.


In a heartfelt post on Instagram, Miller shared his gratitude for the support he received, stating, "Lucky to walk away from that one... thank you to everyone for the kind messages." His acknowledgment highlighted the close calls that riders often experience on the track.


The race was initially halted with a red flag due to the crash. Once the race resumed, Binder attempted to rejoin but ultimately withdrew due to pain in his left shoulder. Quartararo continued racing and managed to finish in sixth place.


KTM released a statement reflecting on the crash, stating, "Today was a stark reminder of the risks our riders face every time they line up on the grid." Francesco Guidotti, the team's racing manager, described the incident as "very bad to see," emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.


As the penultimate race of the season concluded, Italian world champion Francesco Bagnaia claimed victory, putting pressure on his Spanish title rival, Jorge Martin, who now leads the championship by 24 points. The season finale, initially set to take place in Valencia, was canceled following severe flooding in the area, leading to discussions about moving the event to Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya, where Martin could secure his first world title with a win.
